Bob,

Move yet ?

I just finished my "spring" tune up, plugs, rotor, dist cap, etc. Plus, new rotors, rear calipers, e-brakes, pads. I was a bit reluctant...I've been getting 29.5 - 31 MPG on long hauls. Worried that I may wake up the fuel hog gremlins. Not so...just back from two 'day' trips' (296 and 318) and got 29.5 on the first and 31.2 on the second.

Replaced NGK with Champions (hence the worry), and as the man who fell out of the Empire State building, was heard to say at each floor, on his way down..."so far so good !!"

The kicker is:...filled up before I left, and when I retured later in the day. Gas had gone up three cents !! Filled up when I returned the second day, and gas had gone up another three cents !!!
