Been Gone, Mileage Report
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-Jun-02 AT 10:36 PM (EST)]I've been in Detroit this past week for some job related training and thought I'd share a few bits of info.for anyone that's interested.
I decided to take the 96 listed below.I ran 75mph.most of the time on the way there and back.I checked my fuel mileage for the interstate driving and it worked out to 14.25 for the trip.Needless to say I'm pretty happy with this figure considering it's a big block.Other than running at a pretty good clip I managed to behave myself with the gas pedal just to see what kind of mileage this thing could get when I'm not towing anything and keep the pedal away from the floorboard.
Last but not least it's good to be back and be able to read all that's been going on.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 30-Jun-02 AT 10:31 PM (EST)]Just got back last night with a multiple use trip (mostly freeway)with 4 mountain passes over 4500 ft. Going down at 65-70 mph and back at 75 mph with some 4 wheeling thrown in and 2 track dirt roads, gravel roads, etc. Overall mileage was 13.7 mpg.
