Ken,
Tiny Tim was getting about 1.5 gallons per event. At an average of .7 miles
per run and 4 runs per event that totals about 2.8 miles per 1.5 gallons
or about 1.87 miles per gallon. Now bear in mint that is in US gallons. It
would be better in imperial gallons. And at an average of about
$4.00/gallon for racing fuel... oh well never mind! YOu wouldn't want to
make any long trips!! :)
I should get significantly better mileage with the VTEC engine!!!
