Re: Mileage/Power break-in

Randy,
Thanks for the input (you too, Jerry). That is a
big, big improvement. I usually do mileage by
working from a totally full tank, including the 3
or so gallons that you have to dribble in. My
speedo, posted 65, but using my watch and the odo,
I computed 63 & change over 10 miles. The whole
test was on cruise.

-Actually am very happy with 17 MPG.
