:nod: |
Thanks for the tank of gas Eddie (prize was split 3 ways), it's something you didn't have to do but was very much appreciated.
|
Thanks again Eddie!!
And thanks for driving all the way from Nova Scotia!!! So, next year again?? :) |
Eddie is a good guy. One of the nicest I've met in my life. Actually, he's one of those guys that makes you want to be a better person.
I understand there was a little drinking going on at the Banquet and the V8 joke is funny once or twice but the Yahoos who kept yelling out their little comments every few minutes was a bit absurd...in particular since I didn't see the one individual making the majority of the comments step up and donate. |
Thanks for the warm fuzzy Gringo lol...I have to be nice to make up for my son "helping" with your car.

27-28 mpg!?! That's pretty amazing! Until you, the best I've heard was 23 mpg...in the RX-8
Total miles = 3951 miles US gallons used = 160 US gal Avg MPG = 24.6 MPG (US) (includes Dragon runs!) Best MPG for a tank = 28.4 MPG (US) Total fuel cost = $668.74 Deals Gap Rotary Rally = PRICELESS!! Steve 1984 GSL-SE |

I really should have kept track of the fuel I used in my Rx-4. I know all total I put on 3000 miles for the trip and I know I didn't get that good of mileage. I roughly figured it out to somewhere just above 20mpg. I really need a 5 speed in that car......
Congrats thought to my fellow Canadians for winning, and thanks Eddie for sponsoring the prize. |
To echo my fellow Nova Scotians, thanks much for putting up the prize, and for the hospitality from everyone. Regarding the V8 yhing, while I'm personally a rotary fan, I'm a car/motorcycle fan first, and I can appreciate any vehicle for it's own merits.
I didn't keep as detailed records as Steve, but I put on a few more miles than him as I did an extra run to Ashville and back on Saturday (Jenn wanted to hit a store) and another run out to the Dragon and back. My total fuel costs for the trip were $745.89 CDN. Dragon runs were low MPG, but the long highway runs were knocking on 24MPG with 2 people + luggage in the car and the AC on (we are Canadian after all.) I guess the MM tuned AccessPort works. |
