First road trip complete! About 700miles round trip. I had no issues whatsoever (except some cold hands towards the end as it got a bit chillier than I had expected.)
Mileage wasn't too bad, I posted the numbers below for those who may be interested. I can't wait until I can hit the road again, though I may wait until the new wheel nuts get installed. I don't want to push my luck!
For the gas milage, the numbers were better when I played it more conservative (55-65), when I decided to push it a bit 75/80+, it wasn't near as good, but soooo worth it...lol. I would have like to test it's max because even at 90, I had throttle left.
109.7 mi @ 3.903 gal (28.10 mpg)
123.4 mi @ 31.181 gal (38.79 mpg)
82.2 mi @ 2.162 gal (38.02 mpg)
78.5 mi @ 2.643 gal (29.70 mpg)
64.1 mi @ 2.546 gal (25.17 mpg) - I was ready to be home as it was coooold...lol)
I filled up at shorter stints on the back end because I was on the back roads in the middle of nowhere and cotton/peanut fields don't supply fuel. I wonder if that had to do with the lower mpg calculations? Either way I had a blast!
