i get about 30mpg on the highway about 70 miles from here to the other county driving at around 80 and hitting it sometimes.
I want to move the crank sensor aaalll the way up to see if i get more gas mileage....i am talking about the sensor that people push all the way down to advance the timing (which i have done).

I try to stay around 100 kph or 105 kph cruisin. I usually average 7.7 lts per hundred by the end of the week. I tend to get 325kms or better by the time the gauge reads half. Who's in a hurry to get to work anyway.
