Dooood! This cor rawks!
OK maybe I'm a little old to be talking like that, but that's how I feel. The SO and I took a trip to Niagara this past weekend: 250 miles of smooth CIS motoring with a combined city/highway/stop and go highway driving of 25 mpg (that's 30 CDN). It's amazing what German engineering, no vacuum leaks, correctly connected vacuum lines, and a correctly functioning WUR can do!

Hey Paul,
I was driving around Niagara all this weekend as well. Although I think I do have a vacuum leak causing a hunting idle it was still a blast. I got sunburnt really good, but loved every minute of it. We should plan a fun-run up around the escarptment sometime.

Nice! Glad you are enjoying the fruits of your labor.
I can't wait for it to cool down some so that I can share in the joy. Just too hot and sticky right now.

More power to you for getting that kind of gas mileage out of a CIS car. I could never top 20 in mine for the 10 years I owned it, and usually it was more like 17-18...

Great news! I have been following along for a while. Now do something about that silly mileage issue if you drive it like you should the Mounties won't catch up on thier horses.
