Strange. Well, when I put my Boston Bob engine in this weekend, I shall 
endeavor to keep the mpg down to 17 so as not to upset the applecart! The 
very last long, flat stretch I drove on that original engine was from near 
Yosemite to Bakersfield, CA , 144.7 miles on 7.45 gallons = 19.39mpg, and 
previous averages sat closer to the mid 18's. Now that I know that was 
impossible, I'll probably never be able to reproduce it!
