500 Miles a tank!
 
Yahoo.

http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._5343251_n.jpg

501.8 Miles, 15.4 gallons

I have a 16.9 gallon tank, so assuming I can get every drop out of it, and overfill up to the neck, its juuuust possible I could get 600 one day. :turtle:

So, was this with or without the boattail?

brucey 11-15-2009 12:22 PM

Without.

Nice!!! so are you gearing up to do a test with the boat tail mod next?

brucey 11-15-2009 12:54 PM

I'm in Florida for the shuttle launch tomorrow. The tail is 1000 miles away with cracked glass. This was just me driving normally and I think the elevation change helped along with my average speed on the second half of the tank.

I also got a ticket 20 minutes after filling up. Couldnt move over when there was a cop in a ditch. "Move over Law" sounds great, but its just another way to bring in revenue here. If they think I won't fight it because I'm out of state they have another thing coming. I have the entire thing on tape with GPS data logging confirming speed.

Fine? 500$

Must have been my lucky number.

What do you mean you have it on tape?

brucey 11-15-2009 05:18 PM

I mean I have a camera in the car that taped what happened.

Why did you have a camera?

brucey 11-15-2009 07:14 PM

For my own protection against unfair police action?

Cameras are cheap now. Do you really want to rely on someone else to provide evidence you're innocent?
