Hey everyone, I couldn't help but post this. Mmost of you probably already know this, and if you dont, you will now. I just recently went to Seattle with a couple friends, I live in Port Coquitlam (45mins away from the Canada/US border). Anyway, I made it to and from Seattle on 3/4 of a tank of gas! I had lots of gas leftover, whereas if I was doin some city driving, I would have filled up at around 425km. I clocked my mileage at just over 400km for the trip, and I ended up getting another 100km+ from the 1/4 tank that was left!

Just thought I'd share.

Good times...

Just did a slightly longer road trip down to West Virginia and back (near Toronto) aprox 2000 kms. We noticed getting around 500kms per tank with the JCW running realy rich still. Can't wait to see the milage once we lean it out some, and add more breathing ability.
