Nice work, freakazoid. What would you say was your cruising average speed?

I took a ~80 km round trip in the Flea today to pick up a used wood stove. (Couldn't have stuffed that in a Honda Insight!!)

Ideal Sunday driving conditions on nearly empty rural roads in perfect weather netted ~73 mpg (US) at about ~45 mph average. Driving with load on the open road, EOffC to stops & turns. A very pleasant drive.

I started hearing an exhaust leak, though.... Think the 13 year-old original pipes might be due for some work.
