Why buy new when you can restore?

Drove it to town, but $37 worth a fuel and got 13.4 mpg the last 200 miles. Never got it washed, but I did install my silverstars I got.
How do you get 13 and I get 17? 89 vs 91 can't make that big of a difference :dunno:.
I use to have SilverStar Ultra's in my highs and regular halogen bulbs in the lows. The Ultra's were nice, but they were a little hot and over priced (but I got them with a $10 rebate so it was OK).

Still working out my small kink in my HID setup. Dennis and Bernie have helped narrow it down to the final culprit. I'll find out this weekend.

Let the truck rest after a long week. Finally got nice weather so I rode my motorcycle.

OFF TOPIC (and not truck related): ordered a new front tire for my motorcycle; my tire is basically bald

I have to fill it up with gas this morning, and then drive it to work.

Just goin to work soon, then off at one to leave for a wedding right after, and probably won't be home till late, since it's in columbus.

Yeh Matt, I don't understand why your getting so much better mileage. I don't drive like a maniac, and I'm sure you don't drive like a granny either

Drove it to Wally World and work. I also put in some 100 octane fuel. I know it doesn't make a difference but I sure like to think so, mentally I feel a difference. :lol:

So does the ole' butt-o-meter.

Yeah, but can't afford it much. It is $7.48 a gallon. 10 gallons cost me $74.80. OUCH! :lol:

I like to run it in my 65 impala, makes the exhaust smell like I'm at a Pro Stock race. :thumbs:

OUCH... at that price I couldn't afford much of it either.. :dunno:
But it would be fun to have some this fall when I take the DTS back to the 1/4 mile strip.. :lol:

Rockingham Dragway here in NC sells racing fuel at the track. You can even get the 114 octane, but that is still leaded I believe.

Now that I think of it isn't there a law out that all fuel racing or not has to be unleaded by a certain year? I recall hearing it somewhere. :dunno:
