Now she is just shy of 280k miles. Still getting 50 mpg in the warm months without really trying.
I am contemplating running a test in the spring when its a bit warmer. My power steering doesn't work, so I'm contemplating commuting for an entire tank of fuel without a serpentine belt.
I wouldn't have a/c or an alternator. I'm just curious what kind of mpg gain i would see. I drive about 40 minutes to work and wonder if the battery will have enough capacity to power the fuel pump and other electrics during that time. I will use both the block heater and battery charger when parked. I don't want to risk stalling because I ran out of battery power.
