    WOW... I'm impressed!

    My CB9 avg'ed almost 26 mpg this second tank since I bought it.

    I am going to run some more snake oil through her and see what's up...

    I also need to check the cap, rotor, and spark plugs to see what kind of shape they are in.


    My snake oil recipe so far if anyone is interested is a mixture of Marvel Mystery Oil and some Lucas fuel additive. It seems to work great and it is a slighty cheaper alternative to Seafoam. (More of it for the same or less money)

    Also I have seen at least two other CB9's for sale in the Austin area at what appeared to be reasonable prices this week... I am thinking about checking at least one of them out and getting the story on it.

    26? That's kinda low You should easily break 30 on the highway. I averaged 29 before I swapped. Course, your car does weigh a bit more

          Yeah, 26 I would say is average. My car got about 35mpg on the highway (h22) which I didnt think was too darn shabby. I get 26 around town beating on it.

          Got any pics of the cobra?

            I don't do much highway driving...

            and when I do it is commonly at about 80-90 mph...

            plus I just got her so I have had a pattern of reving her pretty high between shifts...

            plus she has about 198,000 miles on her... Original plug wires so who knows about the rest at this point...

                        I strive for 350 miles per fillup, which is not hard to do, I got 410 when I ran it to empty. I do all stop and go, but it's moderate.

                        where you been, is something wrong?
                        i try to just smile, and say everything’s fine.

                              if my dads old ass diesel mercedez had the gas tank capacity of my moms van, he could go from my house in washington all the way to cali on one tank.
