I did a 192 mile round trip today and kept the speed at 60-64 mph, just to see what mpg I could get. Got 21.8 mpg.

It was a shopping trip, so I was not in a big hurry.

An internal combustion gas engine needs more fuel to run properly during this time because of the cold, dense air quality we experience in the northern states and Canada.

So you may not notice an improvement in milage until the spring.
Did my first top off at 3/4 full od read 170kms and took 35liters all city driving. FS

without a chassis, frame, wheels, tranny, and a cab your motor can't move. So no it can't get 20 mpg with out those things since it will be sitting on an engine stand stationary.....
