These are my milage totals since 4-10-09 since the 4-spd swap in the 85300D
27.86, 31.94, 26.98, 27.89, 29.68, 27.09, 28.40, 30.79, 26.87, 30.05, 32.21,

24.47, 28.18, 26.87, 29.01

this is an increase over the automatic 2 - 3 mpg.

the 31.94 is a trip back from carson City, NV back to Calif. over HWY 50. more down hill on the Calif side.
The 32.21 also a trip back from Carson but over HWY 88, highest elevation is over 9000ft.

there is also two trip to Portland, OR. and back to Calif.
the 26.87 is when I had my foot into it doing 70 on this last trip to Portland, so it droped some. most of my driving is doing 60 or so with the tach around 3000RPM.

the rest is freeway and in town driving. It really amazes me when I get 27 or more from my in town driving. I do have the 2:88 Differential.

we will be leaving portland on Monday for home, so we`ll see what we get on that leg. It is a 700 mile trip.
