CDI Mileage Update

We just completed a road trip down beautiful highway 1 from San Francisco to Santa Cruz and back over the weekend in the CDI. We got about 34 MPG down with AC on part of the way. Coming back, into a 20 MPH headwind we got about 32 MPG. The whole trip was only about 190 miles, averaging about 50 MPH (range from about 40 to 75 MPH). Great touring car, I was tempted at a stoplight to drag race a mustang, but decided against - 1 recent ticket is enough.

I'm jealous!

That's a beautiful drive, I've done it before. Are you still burning biodiesel? If you are, what blend did you use on the trip?

We are still using B25 to B50 because the weather gets chilly although it was 70F and sunny in Santa Cruz at the beach on Sat!!
