Thats what I got for mileage running the Big Bend event.Ran the 140 target speed.Not the best mileage I have gotten in an event but the BB one is full of turns so you are on and off teh pedal rather than just mat it.
OH by the way took 2nd against a field of vettes and a viper.Stan

Just went from South Miami to Orlando, about 300 miles, my fuel gauge was reading just below half tank when we reached. Was averaging about 70-75 mph. Ran around Orlando a little and did not fill up until two days after. Total milage would be about 340-350. Is this normal or am I getting more or less than average?
