All the ET guess are on page 4 of the '79 T/A's project thread. I had an interesting night. Just after getting through the square in Chardon, my car started spitting quite a bit of smoke out the exhaust. It sounded fine, it felt fine, but plenty of smoke, somewhat intermittent, mostly from the passe...

So I looked up that hypermilers page and found this part a little interesting/confusing: Fuel efficiency varies with the vehicle, but generally acceleration is most efficient at near full throttle openings [11] It is also important to keep the engine RPM in an efficient range, so acceleration is mor...

I'm trying to head out to TRP tomorrow -- you think you're gonna make it?

I have yet another new grill, which seems like nicest portable grill I've owned yet. There will be another round of Tiresmokin' burgers.

It turned out to be about a *perfect* day for riding home. It was sunny and warm, with just a few white fluffy clouds in the sky as we left the hotel in Elkins, WV. I wrote Alcans, WV in the last message, because thats what the clerk sounded like when I asked at check-in. I saw a sign on the way out...
