So [yesterday] I washed the XFi and aired up the tires. I just put 151 miles on it with a fill at the beginning and end.
43.3MPG. I tried to hold it down to 75. Driving around town, with the older tires, it will rattle an hum at 65, but after a half hour it wants to go 75 at the same throttle setting. After an hour I had to hold it back.
The inner tie rods ends will get replaced when the parts arrive, then I can get the front end aligned and some Continentals on that end. I had to replace the rear tires and they aligned the rear, but they won't touch the front until the tie rods ends are up to spec.
I entered it in a car show and won my class! The competition was two first gen Mustangs, a 1964 Ford station wagon, a (nice) 1948 Jeep pickup and a motorcycle. I took the Open class; the entry form said Open was for swathers and riding lawn mowers.
