Thought I'd throw some number around from the trip( we do appreciate numbers here);

Day 1- 511 miles
Day 2- 300 miles
Day 3- 518 miles
Day 4- 427 miles
Day 5- 496 miles
Day 6- 529 miles
Day 7- 372 miles( longest day BY FAR!)

First fill- 1329.9 miles/20.811 gallons= 63.9 mpg
Second fill 923.2 miles/14.269 gallons= 64.7 mpg
Final fill 911.5 miles/16.142 gallons= 56.47 mpg
Total trip 3164.6 miles/51.222 gallons= 61.8mpg
While installing the new brake master cylinder, I saw fuel dripping off the injector pump. Found LOTS of fuel in the bellypan and in the engine compartment. No idea how long it's been leaking like that. Changed pump and worst leaking injector. I put the pump to 0 initial set up setting and should be able to time it properly this weekend.

This tank will be more to usual. EOC and P&G as the clutch allows. I'm going to try to make it two weeks for the clutch swap, but we'll see.
