was a nice drive down (800 miles) from Twin Falls Idaho to Phoenix. only had one issue which was odd and I will be posting a topic concerning it.
other than the one issue- O2 sensor tripped the engine light a few times- yes i pulled the codes

averaged 21 miles per gallon with cruise set at 68-69, passing trucks above 85, going up small summits, its less than what i got before i adjusted the fuel pressure to 12 psi from 9 psi but a little fuel mileage loss is ok considering the car runs properly. and 21 mpg for a 33 year old Vette with a V8 is pretty decent in my book
