thanks that puts me in a lil better shape, a little :-/


Yep... and when your speedo is showing 65, you should be going > 72MPH.

I don't understand why these trucklets do better at high speed... unlike the 55 limit said we'd do. At 75MPH, my milage is at its best.

I just used my first tank of fuel. I have stock tires and gears. I have not had the opportunity to confirm every thing is correct (trip meter odometer, etc.)  :-/



I filled up to the top of filler neck. Using the trip meter, 186 miles later I filled up with 5.5 gallons of fuel. That is 186 divided by 5.5, which is 33.8 miles per gallon  8).



Sure seems like a lot of mileage. This is my first Sammi ('91, injected). Does that seem possible?  ???

How much mileage change do you guys notice with the top and doors off as opposed to on?  My 88 Sami has gears in it so I have to crank to get 65 on the few miles of highway when I take it to work.  I think the fact that I have refused to put the top on since I got the truck is helping.  Is it, or doesn't it matter?

I just got back from my trip (4000+ km) and the weirdest thing. I had the back loaded with stuff like a small freezer packed with boxes, tons of tools from my dad and all my speaker enclosures and I was getting better milage than when I drove down (empty) in the first place. Too strange....
