MPG? As long as I have gas available, who cares. I only really care on
long runs.


Well....I have two concerns. Range and price. My wife about chokes when
we
fill her up. Then remind her what a hotel room costs.

Wife figures I could have bad habits also. Besides her dad was a sailor
racing one design on San francisco bay. 30-32' sailboats are not cheap to
run and dock either. As to fill up, I choke sometimes. I have had it
siphoned a couple of times. I think the person who did it was the watchman
at the storage yard, but since he has passed to storage yard in the sky,
does not seem to be a problem. Once added 40 gallons, when I should have
needed about 6, and another time 50. Ran out of gas one time at Oroville.
3 days of running hard, and not paying attention to the fuel guage. 67
gallons to fill it up. Just what the tank says it holds. Costs almost $60
to fill the 27 gallon tank in the 2004 Chevy diesel.
