Added another 1900 miles on Sophy over the last week. She performed flawlessly on the 800 mile trip to Northern Minnesota and back. Averaged a tick over 25 mpg with a best tankfull of 28.3 mpg after I was pulled over for speeding and cooled things down a bit. <G> She would happily cruise along at 75-80 on the interstate. Only used a quart of oil on the whole trip. Couldn't be happier with her. Only minor thing I have to fix after the trip is one of the return springs on one of the rear brake shoes broke. Is this a T3 part only? It is definitely different then the spring on an IRS beetle.
