Condolences. I'm sure we'd all prefer the one with three wheels,

that would be a double whammy in California...

Consumes 1.2 gal/hour
at whatever speed I choose to drive. Obviously the faster I drive the
less time it takes, the less gas I use.


So at 90mph, you get 75mpg? Excellent!

I wish I could test that speed, that little engine maxes out at 70 mph.
But at 60-65, 40 MPG seems to be the norm. And that is quite a wind load.

That 1.2gph figure at 60 and 65 equates to 50 and 54mpg, Alan, so
you're as accurate as Iggy's "about the same gallons."

Heh heh heh.
