I know what he eats but am not sure what he drinks, ha.

Hi all,,,, so last wk I played hooky from wrk and drove the frankenbunny to Yosemite  ( tuallomy medows) .It's 499.5 miles from Sonoma to the park and back...... the trip up took 9.5 hrs because of slow an' stop traffic from Napa county line to Mantica !!!!!!!! I fumed all the way ...cause I knew my milage was going to suck from all the time spent idleing or creeping in 1st gear . any how ,,,,, up to the campground, find son and mom (They spent the week!!), stay night, pack up and back to sonoma.... gas up in Mantica ..... and back at the cheep station in Petaluma..... 9.2 gal for the trip !!!!! figureing milage,,, 54.6+ on the way up, and 53.5 + on the way back (less traffic , but still under 55 mph)  I still get 43- 47 on my comute from Sonoma to Treasure Island.    :D

bump-

now it wont idle below 1100 with out stalling out soon as i turn down the idle or residule adjustments, it slows down, and within a couple secs just dies. itll restart, but if i dont hold the throttle just a tad, itll die again
