Bruce, except for the leaks, which I'll fix here soon, including all new seals and gaskets on the rear, the car was flawless while driving. I would kid with my son saying "Well, I hope it starts this time", because you literally just have to bump and release the key and it instantly goes to a perfect idle every single time. Discounting the odd ones, and depending on whether I was steady cruising, climbing the mountains or coming down them, it averaged anywhere from 13.4 to 17.8 mpg, with the 13.4 including my pass at the track. Pretty darn good if you ask me! Removing the 2 highest produced a total trip average of 15.1 mpg, and that was loaded to the gills!
