Removed front seat covers to wash and repair worn foam. I also added another 1" of high density foam on top. Like a La-Z-Boy now!!

This was on a trail above Kenosha pass, which is 45 miles west of the Denver area.
Re-installed my 4x4 Labs rear bumper freshly sand blasted and durabacked. Then loaded up every possible thing we could fit and took the family to the dessert.
This is what 80s are meant to do;p
Loaded down we managed 17 mpg.

He missed the decimal point, he meant 1.7 MPG
I got 22mpg once...
When the 80 was on the back of a flatbed.
Do the math, the 80 gets 12mpg and the flatbed gets 10mpg =22mpg!

Conservative driving, cruising between 65 and 70, 91 octane (our highest), AT tires, EMS exhaust, base timing at 8 degrees.Wow! That's great!
We have three 80s all set up very similar. Our hwy mpgs are typically over 17. City mpgs are more typical in the low teens.
