Washed her and filled her up with gas....went a record (for me) 384.6 miles on that last tank of gas....she was definitly near empty. . . took 13.2 gallons @ 2.97/gal.

I dont usually wait that long past the idiot light...

 

[whitemp5seattle]

$2.97/gal? wow...where do you live? a gallon of unleaded over here is $3.19ish

I've had those on for the past 3 years. Drive it to skiing and also up to Canada a couple of times each winter. Drove in a snow storm last year from Boston to Bangor. I worry more about the right winter tires than clearance.

Where do you ski?

Mostly I drive from Oswego, NY to Tully, NY about 4 times a week and its always a rough drive. I also go to Vermont a lot when I'm back home on break and those roads are always fun. I have 4 blizzaks that treat me real well though and I just need my clearance for my home mountain's parking lot mainly.

I got my new SRI delivered to my house. Well, at least the website says it got delivered, I'll have to get someone to swing by and see if it is there. Now only one more month before I get back and can actually install it. Mid december mods FTL.

I gave the car the day off from commuting. It's hangin out in the garage chillin with the bikes & boards & kayaks & stuff. Bashin on traffic in the crazy ass truck the carefree way. It's really a nice break to jam around in a 25 yr old prerunner lookin thang not having to worry about potholes, road debris, asshole drivers, traffic jams, door ding free parking spots, weather or anything really.

Filled her up last night - 31.4 mpg yay! I only put in like 11.6 something gallons too (I drive I fair amount to work and didn't want the light coming on). BTW, I paid about $3.10/gal for 93 octane here (and I thought that was high! (boom08)).

I need to get my turbo installed and tuned where you go...31mpg?

LOL, I forgot to mention they were almost all highway miles. I drove ~285 miles back from Blacksburg on Sunday and then drove to and from work on Monday and Tuesday. We get a fair amount of traffic here in Hampton Roads at rush hour so I wouldn't say all of my miles were highway. But yeah, straight city I usually see something like 22 mpg (20 or lower if I really drive hard). I'm tuned to be at 12:1 AFRs at 10 psi. Haven't really gotten around to complete the tune for the rest. I know it runs really rich at like 5 psi and a little lean at lower pressures.

Find a nice open highway and go WOT a lot.

I've gone 60 miles after the gas light came on... when I finally got to a gas station I put in 15 gallons... The Moral of the Story; NEVER NEVER NEVER pass a gas station in Texas.

ah yes, the ol' Tony's Fiat Tune-up lmao.

Crazy thing is it works some times. Do a full 'pulls' in 3rd up to redline, bring it home and cool 'er off.

I swear we only had like 14.2 gallon tanks (uhm)

 

[THE Phen]

Plus the filler neck...

I've put 14.8 gallons in before.

 

[magnumP5]

Good God and I though I was pushing it by putting in like 12.5 gal! I think the most I've ever put in at one stop is like 13 even and man was I paranoid.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

ive gotten 15.1. when i ran out of gas.

 

[THE Phen]

Gotta test a vehicle's every limit somehow...
