Cool, there was actually a kart there today! And I got to ride along several times in my friend's 16V '91 Jetta. Fun fun!

Filled up on the way back and averaged a measly 44.531 MPG with 483.7 miles on the tank

Goal of 40mpg: Smashed!

Edit: On the way home I was super super tired so i just put it on cruise at 60 and tried not to doze off. The mileage doesn't look too bad from that. Probably mid to upper 30's.

OH! I also used some self tapping screws to secure the rear wheel skirts into the bodywork so they won't flap around like they did after the two day journey from MN.

The air dam is still scraping a lot. It's kinda fun.
