Driving 330 miles in my FJ40 - talk me off the cliff (1 Viewer)

Yes, right in the heart!

The family has everything they enjoy there and having the 40 there was a great way to escape some of the madness!

Love it! We were there last April. Would be a blast to have the 40 down there.

Talking about that, I noticed multiple time that when doing multiple days roadtrip with the engine running for most of the days. I always get a better millage in the return trip and by quite a lot, around 2L/100km of difference. I also feel the engine is smoother and revs easier.
Those engines definitely love to run for hours on and have every little bit of metal get hot.

I'm sure all engines are happier after the temperature is evenly heated through. Mine is a 350 SBC... on my first road-trip, with the original 1.5F, the engine wasn't happy after 500 miles. The F was always much happier around 2000 RPM... where as the 350 was as happy as a pig in sh!t running all day long at 3000 rpm.
