The town I live in is Kokomo, IN and is nick named stop light city. The so called by pass is 7 miles and has 13 stop lights. By the time you get to the speed limit it is time to slow down for traffic and the next light....which for me works out about perfect for EOC. By the time I hit 45 I have to slow down for traffic and the next light. This tank of fuel in my 96 Geo Metro 3 banger covered a total of 426.2 miles on 9.553 gallons! I use a counter that I keep track of how far I coast...a record 114.5 miles. When I bought this car on July 23rd and drove it home from Columbus, OH (nearly 200 miles) it got 46 mpg. Since then I have taken out 70 lbs, changed the plug wires, cap, and rotor and have gotten as much as 57.0 highway at 55-60 mph. I don't know if I EVER will do the speed limit of 55 to see what it can do.
I have now put over 6000 miles on it in that I use it as a delivery truck for 79-08 Mustang rims that I sell. I can put 8 rims with mounted tires in it, 5 in the back seat, 2 where the passenger seat used to be and one in the hatch area. A set of 4 is just shy of 100 lbs.....and no, I have not drag raced it...yet!
