Re[2]: Mileage

Jason,

       Your mileage seems a whole lot better than what I get.  On average I get 
about 440-470 with a tank.  I've got an 8V '86, completely stock.  Don't know if
it's considered "lead" foot but am normally at 150/160 on the 4xx hwys.

       Used to top out at 200 before I had the timing belt changed, now I get to
180, downhill with good tail wind!

       D'you know of any places in Toronto or Ontario for that matter that I 
could get a good deal on performance parts?.   Looking for a dual outlet 
manifold and euro downpipe.

       Was in Europe last week.  Rented an A4 1.9TDI.  Could cruise at 220km/h, 
the car seemed relaxed!  Wuz a fun drive.  Didn't think diesel's could go that 
fast.

Kevin.

Here's my 2 worth.  As you all know, I drive like a savage just about 
all of the time.  Which is to say that I have a very heavy left foot (as 
if you didn't know).  Anyways, I fill the car right up to the top and by 
the end of the tank, I usually get between 520-600km (325-375 miles). 
I've shredded and K&Ned my airbox, and I have no oxy sensor.  However, I 
still manage to fill the car up twice a week.  Those damned races...

	BTW, for those of you from north of the border coming up to the show, 
bring some extra dosh for gas.  On my way to work today, I saw that 
prices are very high.  Apparently as high as during the Gulf war.  For 
regular pump, it's about 65 a litre, for premium you can probably tack 
on another 10-12 (you'll hafta do the math, I gotta go).  Just thought 
ya might like to know...
