Anybody on roadtrips? How's that going?
I just got to my wife's (Shreveport, LA) from San Angelo, TX. It was about 475 mi, and would have made it on 1 tank! I just finished fixing the motor mounts yesterday, and this is the first time I've been able to check out fuel economy with the 2.47 rear diff.
Did the math at fill up and it was right at 35 mpg, at 70 mph. If I didn't go the wrong way several times on the back roads and there weren't thousands of idiots cutting me off on the freeway. I would have been able to stay on the cruise control longer and pulled a little better mileage.
The car stood up like a champ...almost hard to believe I only paid $2k for it. Smooth as the day is long, after some rebuilding.
