I am back from a trip, or a couple of trips back to back.
Arrived in Napa on second end of a trip and the car was at 407miles on the trip odometer and my friend said I was risking it with an unknown car, raise a few "what ifs" like what if the car suddenly runs out of fuel in the boondocks? that would be a bad thing I agreed especially without a manual primer.
Anyhow around 415 miles the reserve fuel lamp came on and I eventually found a gas station with diesel at the nice low price of $3.959 (I know, folks not living in the state of CA will find that a high price but where I live its $4.30 and up/gal).

I hadn't filled the car up to the filler neck as I do when I am trying to get an accurate mileage figure but using the amount I put in at this fill-up was 15.3 gals, that gives fuel mileage of 27.3 MPG.
This was over about 30% city and 70% freeway at 70-80MPH. With AC.
The factory specs for the fuel tank are 21.1 gals, so if I were to drive until I ran out of fuel, using this MPG, I could theoretically drive another 156 miles or something like 570 miles.

I'll be off on a short trip again tomorrow then I need to get with the brake renewal program, I'm waiting for the Porterfield pads to arrive .
