Or you can drive at 60 mph and get 30 mpg. But then you risk getting hit from behind and your saving are gone... [emoji847]

Shawn,

If you want to up your chances for a win, Join the Tulsa Vette club. Except for this year they have won the club participation award for the last 20 years. I joined the LoanStar Club because our son lives in Dallas & I want to go to their event at the Texas Motor Speedway next May.

Like I mentioned it is not a real car show but a social and political event.

I found 3 things that need repair during this week. The passenger side window switch only goes up but not down. The Brake light on the dash stays on unless I tap the peddle and the center council lock broke so I need to pull that and re do it or replace the lid.

Thanks for your support and friendship

Dave

FWIW: my dash/computer mpg readout is consistently off by 11% (low)
when compared to the old way of checking mileage
30 mph in 6th? That's gotta be good for the car...

Dave,
I was talking to some very nice folks from the Lonestar Club. I have been to that show once back in 1997 or so, and it was great! I want to go back, so I may see you there.

Keep on lugging that engine down and you are going to be in for a surprise.

Well...NOT to be "contrary", but you drive a ZR-1 like a Prius and get congratulated for it? Oh! IMO, that just seems SO WRONG in so many ways!

(Or, is it just me off my meds again?)

No. It's not just you.

Last week I drove my 1990 around 600 miles of mostly 75 mph interstate, but some town and averaged 25.1 mpg. What is funny is a guy in an F150 that was at the same meeting I went to asked if it was hard on gas....
