Holy moly, I'm not sure what made the difference but I got 20.5 on the 100 mile loop before, and just got a shade over 24MPG putting on 139.5 miles. Maybe I did a little more freeway this time around. I always use 76 because there's a 76 station in Fountain Valley that always has the best prices. I'm really encouraged, as soon as I can I'm going to dyno as is, and then start throwing tuneup parts at it.

You know I've often thought about building a gutted S-10 roadster. It would haul buns, and probably get pretty good mileage.
