Nice tactical thinking, Fat Charlie! Darrell makes excellent points about the GPS and tire size and such, but your questions about GPS reliability make me wonder: which are the good GPS systems and how can a person tell before buying one? (I don't have one.)

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
