    that might make it worth it if all you do is drive around one gas station. going cross country to say the Gathering/Roundup would be a hassle trying to keep it in the tank at all times...

    The increase in gas mileage should offset part of cost. I will try to keep running it but wont loose sleep if it doesn't work out. Plus you are running a engine designed for this modern crap gas.

    How did it turn out? We going to cruise now? If weather holds I am going to Byron this weekend.

    all day ordeal

    took my saturday to goto the local pick n pull and get some sensors, distributor, and a thermometer housing for my 302 efi build. then headed to autozone to get some gaskets, plugs, cap and rotor, wires etc and put most of it together. by Then it was about 7 o clock at night. After working on the 302 i went back to my mav and installed a water temp gauge and relocated my amp to the trunk in preparation for my new head unit and speakers im having shipped. and that was my day.. just finished the amp relocation half hour ago ( its 11:30 right now here in cali)

    Took a couple pics with a set of magnum 500's. some before and after shots. There's a good layer of dust on the after shots.
