Re: Restoring Rusty - MPGs
decided to get some Miles Per Gallon estimated before I tore her all apart, the last time I tried this my speedometer died, LOL
so we started with 26.4 miles and filled her up
then we drove 100 miles (second pic, speedo reading 126.4) and we had to add 8.263 gallons to fill her back up (at the same gas station, using the same pump, payed with the same debit card, wore the same underwear, etc. LOL)
so 100 miles divided by 8.263 gallons gives us 12.1 MPG, not bad
my goal and the magic number was 12.5 so that on a 16 gallon gas tank I could travel 200 miles, maybe with some carb tunning (I think she's running a little rich) and or hypermiling Prius Style we could have gotten those numbers
dang was that gas really under $2.00 bucks per gallon !!! USA USA USA
