With the time change, it was a 10 hour trip. 660 miles in just under 10 hours averaging 66 mph. We were making good time. lol The car was averaging right around 21mpg on the way home, too.

Aside from that bolt backing out, the car ran great.
Awesome, glad it made it back in good shape

21 MPG . I really really want to stay BBC but that MPG is soooo tempting. I think I'd be dreaming if I thought I could get 15MPG out of a <500ci BBC even with EFI.
