A few weeks ago when I first saw how to get the runtime hours, of course I just had to run out and check. Since then, I've been a little more conscious of the runtime...after I fill-up, I now scroll through the overhead to see the time on that tank...pretty scary how quick time flies when you're having fun! I've had a tank or 2 that were over 25 hours. When I saw the first tank over 25 hours, I was amazed, thinking that there was no way I was in the tuck for that long.

Granted, I don't think this timer is in any way related to the engine runtime, but it is still the point...I am amazed how quick the time accumulates.

Just my 2.247 cents on it.

BTW, last I checked, I was at about 46,500 and was somewhere around 1640 hrs. Just about 28.3 mph. Better than when I first found out how to get the runtime (about a week after I bought it)...I was about 43000 and the average was about 27.4 mph. Considering I had only put on 3500 miles of the 46,500 total, and I thought a good portion of that was around town, I must have been hauling to push the average up that much in that short time(works out to 49.3 mph for those 3500 miles).

Sorry occifer!
