    Delivery road trip

    So I took the delivery on a road trip to Longview Washington today. According to my odometer it was 210 miles each way for a total of 420 miles.
    She ran, drove, and worked almost flawlessly. I had a minor incident on the way back when I hit a big bump (due to construction) and when the suspension compressed it smashed the fuel pump wire that had unknowingly to me wiggled loose and was hanging down lower than where I mounted it. Anway it caused the fuse for the fuel injection to pop and I coasted off the road. After about 15 minutes of diagnoses I figured it out, swapped the fuse and bang on my way all the way home.
    Now I need to check a few things to double check this but, according to my odometer I traveled 210 miles and when I fueled up the car it took 8.8 gallons. Now if my math serves me right that is about 25 mpg!!!L now major questions, the speedo only goes up to 42 mph right now, does that affect the odometer? Also I have 17" wheels with an outside diameter of about 27". Would that affect my findings??
    Anyway had a blast got some great parts and it was a great day. Dennis this one was for you and thanks for all your trip posts it made me want to go even more.

    This is my first rest break. I stopped at the power plant on the canal by Hoodsport.
