The ride home tomorrow will duplicate drive when I bought my Echo a few years ago. Beautiful country road divided, 4 lane with a 60 mph speed limit and beautiful coasting hills, almost devoid of traffic lights with the rest time able, last 8 miles of 120.

I got 50 mpg in the Echo on that drive, I'll know the revs per mile after that. The 75 mm bore 90 mm stroke and almost 11 to 1 compression ratio are keys to MPG. I'll have a report tomorrow if the loaner is a manual Mirage which I requested.

regards
mech
