The Portsmouth parts swap.

I used a bit over half a tank getting there and back. Figure that's about 200 miles all together on $20 worth of gas at $2.63 a gallon. I have no clue what that comes out to for mileage. Feels like not enough though Laughing

Sorry I couldn't have got up there earlier. I wasn't trying to avoid you Justin, just got held up a bit getting out of town Laughing

According to my numbers, that is about 25mpg if the guage is in the same location it was before you left and you just used the fuel you put in before heading out.

The guage was at 1/4 and I put in $35 which brought me to full. When I got home the guage was at half. So I put in 3/4 of a tank and used 2/4 of a tank. That's how I figure it was about $20-$25 worth.

I'd say its about 20 mpg. That's about what it has always been. Not bad considering the issues the car has with the exhaust and aerodynamics.

There's a surprise Razz

PS, I envy ALL mileages above. Never saw much over 15mpg
Maybe it has to do with this 50lb right foot?

It was a short visit unfortunately, maybe next time it will be longer, and it was great to meet you guys. Looking forward to doing it again soon.

You don't know the half of it. Let's just say this afternoon is going to be messy and a bit pressured. I have from about 2:30 to 5:00 to get the car completely fixed, get cleaned up, have lunch, and get to the insurance company 20 miles away before they close. And it looks like it'll all happen in the rain Rolling Eyes

I don't have any idea what's going on. I just woke up.
