[200q20v] Re: [urq] FS: 282 BHP 3B ECUs from Europe

[Iain Mannix]

I got 1105 miles to empty on my trip computer on Saturday - did not
look at the mpg, but I was pretty happy that I had 1100ish miles
left in that tank of gas.

OK, fine, I was coasting down I-70 in 5th on my way back to Denver
at roughly 90mph at the time....
