Goal achieved!

[baddog671]

Well, after joining GS.org I set a decent goal for myself to be able to drive 400 miles before having to stop and fill up. With my little 8gallon tank, thats an impressive goal if I may say so. I used to stop around 315 and about 340 after slowing down a bit.

One my last tank, I drove 409.35 miles on 7.38 gallons of gas, blasting that old record clear out of the water!!, resulting in 55.46 mpg!

The best thing, I see only room for improvment. I had a case of the speedies about half tank, my exhaust was broken acouple days, I'm having bad idling vibration problems, construction around house, some more weight can be removed, and my driving technique can still be fine tuned. And a big killer, most 80% of my trips are under 10 miles, so I have lots of cold short runs.

What do you all think? `95 1L 5speed, EPA combo at 40mpg...
