ok, I plugged all the stops into the PC, ran the miles, added all the
fuel, took out what's left in the tank (in the equation), and came up
with 42MPG.

(2246 miles - 53.5 gallons)

That's not too bad I guess....I was hoping to get closer to 45 but hey,
that was with a lot of up and down and 70+ speeds.

Meh, hopefully I'm off a bit as that was traveling through a lot of
hills/mtns that I don't normally see.

And with the speedo off so much, I'm still really not sure exactly what
I'm getting. AND, I was trying to under-guess, not over-guess.


Oh, and this is only the 2nd full tank o' fuel in the beast.....I barely

got it put together when I had to pull the crank out.....so we'll see a
little better as time goes on...

41 to 43 mpg?  My pure-stock 83 8V averages 35-37 most of the time....


>>>

~41~43mpg.

That's compensating for the speedo error of + .1/mi every 3 miles.
