Default So 1800 miles in 2 weeks and.........

I gotta say, I'm extremely pleased. I'm getting an average of 26 mpg, (actually had a little over 28 mpg on this last tank), and it has run perfectly. It doesn't consume any fluids and as it turns out, doesn't leak either. When I bought it, I thought it did, but apparently someone spilled a whole bunch of oil on it before.....hmmm.

Anyhow, most importantly, when I get out of hte car at the end of the day, I'm not road wearrie...

Initial price, and then parts and elbow grease, I have almost $4,000 in it right now, which isn't too bad IMO. I think I would be hard pressed to improve on a car that has what this Bonnie has to offer for the same price.

Well I drive a grand total of about 8 miles a day that'* not on the highway. So the rest of the 180 mile a day trips are all on the free, no stop and go or anything like that.

It'* weird, in the mornings, I get all of hte way to Tucson before the thermostat even opens up. Quite strange indeed.

Really, 20? I mean, our IROC Z with an L98 gets 22 to 25 mpg on a regular basis......but of course that'* with my wife driving it on the freeway and not me driving it.
