For my trip mentioned above, it was 20mpg avg on the first 2 tanks. Once I increased speed & covered more ground/hour, we were seeing ~23/24mpg.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
