That was FUN ! .

A 1960 Faceita (Facel Vega Sports Coupe)  led the way , he never revved the Volvo B20 engine it sported over 3,000 RPM so I had little trouble catching him up on the few times he out accelerated me on a steep hill .

A '59 MGA ran out of gas so I took that driver to get more gas then we finished the drive , all in all it was very nice if HOT .

HAPPY LABOR DAY !! .

[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '81 240D Slushbox

 


483 miles before the low fuel lamp came on .

lots of AC use and in town driving etc.

28.8 MPG .

The clear plastic intake screen looks free of chunks but the fuel is still a bit coffee colored .

Maybe next fillup I'll replace the screen as the plastic often gets dark from the Startron .

Still dosing it nearly a quart of Startron each fillup .
