The Odometer has a "Engine Hours" feature. I've got about 2200 miles on it and it shows about 50 hrs on the engine. This works out to roughly averaging 44 miles per hour. So, I go to thinking, the S-10 I sold a few years ago had 197,000 miles on it. If I used the same average miles per hour over the 7 years I had it, that worked ut to about 4477 hours total time. OK. So, I usually averaged about 19-21 miles per gallon in the S-10. That worked out to about 9,850 gallons of gas over 4477 hours or about 2.2 gallons per hour. My new Tahoe is working out to about 2.16 gallons per hour. I've been getting 19-20 or so on the hiway and 16-17 in combined city-hiway. Just thought it was interesting. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:42:25 PM PST US From: TeamGrumman@aol.com Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Cowling update 7.something --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com I have some pictures of a stock Tiger in flight.
