I agree with establishing records. We're all lost without them (as individuals, first and foremost). Truck spec is important, but so is climate & terrain. Fuel burn, truck spec, climate plus terrain all give important contextual information; necessary, IMO, for the best threads. Then comes the actual use of the truck.

Looking forward to it.

And sounds like the Imp needs some TLC. A friends '67 Crown Coupe (42k survivor) used to regularly get 16 at 70 after some prudent tuning and minor mods. There's a build going on right now of a '68 Newport getting a Cummins heart transplant; very good read.
