Hey Tourigjm, that's quite an achievement considering you have the 3-speed VE. What RPM does it run cruising at 60mph?

This summer, I had to replace my starter contact points @ ~150,000km - the job cost $250....ugh. I'm now more aggressive with turning off the engine at stop lights because I figure I'll sell the car before the starter wears out again.

Good to know 50mpg is attainable. Unfortunately, it's 99% city driving for me here in Vancouver. I might take only 2 or 3 trips a year out of town, and that's the only time I see these higher numbers.

Cheers,
