I havent had one of those in about 8 years. I only sleep about 4-5 hours a night so wasting it on a nap would just **** me off.

Good news is it's not to bad so it should go pretty quickly.

For the 102 mile trip home this afternoon, I drove the speed limit in the 6 small towns but on the highways, I set the cruise at 72. At that speed it is turning 1900 rpms. I reached 80 mph a couple of times while passing and 75 a couple of other times. The average mpg for the trip was 22.1. Very impressed with that and the way it performs. Very peppy.

Good news on the oil consumption, too. It used about 9/10 of a quart in the first 1500 miles but now at 2500, has not used any more.

Did you check it when you first bought it? Is it possible it was just under filled from the factory?

Yep, first thing I did when I got it home. It was at the top of the crosshairs at the top hole. For over a week now, it has been at the bottom of the cross hairs and just above the bottom hole in the stick. I was waiting till it got below the hole before adding. I feel much better about it now.

One of his usual typos, he meant 15.5
