Hello Lester,

       when mine got down to 18 mpg i was really thinking rebuild..
       when it dropped to 15 it was time... when i got to 12 i had the
       money and did it...

       i have a 1098, stock except for the cam, with the datsun and
       4.22 rear end.. at a steady 60 mph i get over 35 on the
       freeway.. (by the way they ARE FREE, unlike the east coast
       where the charge you to use the roads!!) .. i get as low as 22
       to 25 mpg if all i do is drive around town... ...

       granted.. i'm up to 4th gear by 30 mph or so.. cruise in 5th at
       35 to 40 mph...

       18 mpg with a 948?   .. this is the car that won the MOBIL
       economy run in 1958 (9)?... ... seems i recall it got over 33
       in their test back then!
