Im crying....all i can say........

I could have brought my baby...one of these days i guess......

 

That's a serious looking piece of hardware.

Call me when you have time.

 

I've shot that "Serious piece of hardware". It's sweet.

Filled up last night when I got home.... $2.09 a gallon !!!!!!!!!!!!
Also got best mileage in a long time.
Round trip to Fairfield, Tx ...with some heavy playing on Brian's "test track" section of Hwy 84, averaged 18.4 mpg.
Not impressive for you 6 speed guys ... but good for my Auto.

I'm not even going to think about mileage. Trip down on Saturday was running into the headwind. Heading home yesterday I had the assist from the tailwind, but was running with a group doing about 85.

 

I'm impressed! I haven't checked this trip, but my overall lately has been about 17.5.

 

Maybe it's the Mach 4's ... (the tailwind coming home didn't hurt)
I was a bit depressed on Brian's test track .... took noticably longer to get from around 50 mph to 120 mph than it use to with the 6's.
It's not like I'm suffering. Still pretty quick... just not like before.

Correction! I did not trust it when I came up with that #. Had done the math twice.
But, I forgot the 2.5 gallons B20 I poured in by hand earlier. Mileage was 16.7 mph

RJ

 

Do you think some of the mileage (or lack thereof) could be due to winter fuel? Mine seems to have dropped about 1.5-2 mpg or so lately.

..

 

No winter fuel sold anywhere in Tx...that I know of. A VP at Murphys (Walmart) told me they ship #1 diesel to stations starting at Tulsa, and north of there.
#2 diesel yr round...below basically the 36th parallel.

Thanks RJ. I didn't know that. Seems my mileage always drops some in the winter then goes back up in the spring. Maybe it is from a little extra idling etc......but I always attributed it partly to "winter" fuel.

But since it don't get cold enough around here to matter.......what you said makes sense.

..

 

No winter fuel here either........you have to be below 10*F on a regular basis for it to be really needed. Coldest i have seen it here is 3*F.....and that is like only 3 days out of the whole winter.....it is like winter purgatory here.....some days its warm…some days its freaking cold……

 

my mileage for my driving from tucumcari to fairfield to keller was 18.84 and it had me disappointed.

 

Talk about a weather change. Yesterday we were commenting how warm it was, right now I'm listening to my truck ramp up on the automatic high idle.

 

Dan without you being there I was the only one with an AR, which was the only semi auto rifle that didn't jam. (We won't say who's rifles did though )
16.4mpg when I fueled up in Waco, that was with a head wind for 1/3rd of the trip and level 2 on the Hot program for the X2.
And today is brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

 

Definitely a good meet.. trying to think of all the projects completed and I'm sure I can't think of them all
RJ- wait to start setup for remote start
Mike- SBC DD
Charlie- HPFP
AggieJ- bed removal and fuel level indicator installed
My bud Jason- Toolbox install, FP regulator tested, spare tire life relocate
Rob- fluid levels checked, fuel filter, short shifter
RIP BigBlue- Hamilton valve springs


Think we set a record for for completed projects that is for sure...

Here is a link to the first run through of the pics that I took.. Some decent ones I think... I anybody wants a high quality copy let me know and I can email it to you. PhotoBucket
