That's roughly 20mpg and in line with what I've been getting, but I've gone quite a ways further between fills before.

Oh well, makes for a good photo op.


Thank God the heat is behind us. Little Rock was ugly.

How big is the tank?

The parking brake shoe sheared off inside the hat and was bouncing around. We pulled over and I pulled the rear wheel and caliper, but I couldn't get the rotor off with the tools we had, so it had to stay that way until I got home Thursday night and use my shop. Going down the road it was fine, but when traveling less than 20mph, the parking brake shoe would make all sorts of ugly noises.

I rolled home this afternoon, and the total miles I put on the car since leave home a week ago friday was 2,495 miles. I had a vapor lock issue, a fuel pick up issue, and a broken parking brake. Overall I'm really happy with how everything went.

Even with a few "new car problems" it seems it was a blast! The weather could have been better I am sure, and I feel for any of you guys in the flood areas. But it was great to see the car finally out on the road and getting driven!

I have about 5k miles in over 3 years and had a few more problems than that ! So I say you are doing well haha!

Got a PowerTour photo album in the works????
