That trailer may make up for the extra 3Kmi or so I have to drive! That's pretty good MPG for an SUV, my buddy gets about 15 in his Explorer (which is for sale now!) Keith Park speeds.... they will go up when I get the T4 engine in it but I do find that the MPG goes down drastically when I try keeping the Brick much above 70! I actually drive faster in the Square than in the RX7 because the RX is such cop bait! The NY State Troopers set their radar at 72, but sometimes if they are nice and comfy they will let you get away with 75. The radar detector helps but they are getting more and more into instant on use, and if your alone on the road and they pull the gun on your nailed! Keith > I will be driving a mid size SUV out to the Invasion, so don't complain too loud. And, I will be towing a T-2 back on a trailer. With the T-2 stuffed full of west coast VW parts. I think I might have Neil bring me a set of floor pans to the Invasion, and I can strap them on the luggage rack. BTW, my SUV got between 18-20 mpg for the trip to Texas, and that was NOT running at Keith Park speeds. ;+) -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) '05 KIA Sorento SUV russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
