Grin... My '93 wasn't "quite" stock, but I used to have a timeslip from a dragstrip showing a 16.00 second quarter mile for it.
Some sticky tires would have shaved that to around 15... And his excursion would have been absolutely unable to stay infront of it :) I towed a trailer form Oregon to Wisconsin and back in '04 and truck and trailer were 23K combined. Even crossing Montana at 75 - 80 still netted me 10.5 - 11 mpg . ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <insert witty tagline here> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Hammett" <wispawirel...@ics-il.net> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 3:09 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Service vehicle > Must have a lot of 91 Dodges down there (we have a 91 Cummins... not so > much pep compared to the new ones). > > > ----- > Mike Hammett > Intelligent Computing Solutions > http://www.ics-il.com > > > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Brad Belton" <b...@belwave.com> > Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 5:03 PM > To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> > Subject: Re: [WISPA] Service vehicle > >> My 2001 7.3L Diesel Excursion that's closing in on 180K miles still gets >> 14-20mpg depending on use, how heavy my foot is and what I'm pulling.
