OK....i got to Brag......Kerri filled up "Mini Me" last night for the first time.......

53.5 MPG (EDIT)!!!!!!!!!! BOOOOO YA! That is freaking awesome! I think i am going to love this car! NOW i got to do a timing belt.......which i found to be rather expensive.....Ach Du Lieber ( i think that is how you spell it....haha...)

EDIT: My numbers were off by 30 Miles......I got the right ones from Kerri.

231 miles with 4.32 Gal's...53.5 MPG....BUT Rowland you are right....who cares! Its over 50!

Excellent.... I never got better than 52 mpg (all interstate) on my 02 Jetta. But, what's a mile or two when your over 50 mpg.

She said tools don't make my truck bigger or faster....

Good point, Rob - if Ryan uses a Crown Wrench as much as Tyler uses his Shiner Pliers... I sense imminent mechanical mayhem and diesel disaster!
The Crown Wrench isn't very efficient so I think I'll set it aside until I'm done...Oh and I've got beer for anyone who wants to help out on this...

Yea, bring it on. You know I'll be right there to help.

"Ryan.....that's not right! Turn it the other way"

"Ryan.....that's not a 3/4, it's a 15/16th!"

"Ryan.....put the beer down and get back to work!"

About 11 miles off of 75, then left on 2862. The sign will say "Westminster". Right at "T" onto 3133. First Redneck joint on the right just passed the sharp left curve.
