...for about 5 miles!
Unfortunately the gas station was 5 1/2 miles away.
Yea, I was "that guy" :(

So you could push it and call it unconventional "leg strength training" for your next event, right?Quote:

Went and hooked up the tow strap and tug it to the gas station. Put in some fuel and it fired right up without missing a beat!
The problem is that I know I ALWAYS get over 300 miles on a tank. I was only at 275 on this tank. I usually fill up before I go to a race that is out of town. I racee out of town a few weeks ago but forgot I didn't completely top off the tank...oops!
I made it to 343 miles today (a new high!), when the low fuel light came on for the second time since I've owned it. I don't know how much farther I could have gone but since I live 20 miles from the nearest gas station, and would have to go 40 to get home, and back, I figured smarter not to chance it.
With unmodified versions, my wife and I go routinely 375 miles on 20 gallons of regular.
Well, good thing it wasn't hot today! :winkgray:
Glad no one messed with the VX in your absence.
What about the remaining 2.5 gallons capacity? How would you reliably know you'd hit 20 gallons?Quote:

My latest and best in a long time.... about 240. And that was pushing it. ;)
IReally...ouch. I consistently get 300+ even with my heavy steel wheel/off road tire combo.Quote:

Sue teeheeeheee, when you fill the tank it tells you how much you put in it.....lol ;) ;):pQuote:

That right there is funny, I don't care who you are. :bgwb:Quote:

:goof:...I was trying to be funny (epic fail!) and point out that in order for it to be an apples to apples comparison, it has to be MPG, not range.
....I'll go back to my hole now....:laugho:
