"95% highway at 70-80mph. Shell Diesel. Previously had burps on the freeway, this fuel solved that problem. Lesson learned: only fill up at stations with a lot of traffic!" |

"Salt Lake City to Las Vegas. Averaged 59.9 mph including three stops; without the stops, I would estimate it being closer to 65. I put duct tape over 75% of the grill with no noticeable impact on engine temperature (ambient temp of 70-80F). Utilized constant pedal technique: maintained 75mph on flat roads, reduced to as slow as 55mph on steep climbs, and EOC down steep descents. Car is still missing belly pan, so I am more than pleased with its performance!" |
