yep close to 300,000. actually last two tanks empty were 23.6 and tonite's fill up was 24.8 mpg (4.54litres vs 3.78 litres for Us gallon) taking it easy trying to nurse the old girl until august
I'm pleased with that as my best tank was just over 25 back when I first got it. went over it tonite and did my mid service grease job at 5000km , oil level has not moved from full mark . oil cooler has a moderate leak but no dripping so I'm going to monitor coolant loss. Friday its going to be hauling the trailer a good 2.5 hrs each way. but only a 1989 Ranger supercab on the trailer so should be around 7000 lbs or so including trailer weight> no challenge for this old girl but supposed ot be the hottest day so far this year. no ac
daughter took a video of it rolling over and I'll try and load it up from her ipad somehow. was on the way to look at the ranger I am picking up tomorrow.
funny one here:
was talking to a guy when we were both filling up , with a 2009 Mercedes big honkin SUV that is a 3 l;itre V6 turbo diesel and I took his number from his fill up and did my same calculation as with mine and his milage when I got back to the shop at 28.7 mpg. I'm pretty happy with my old worn out van
