How many lmiles a year you put on it?
Well, from 93, when I bought it, till last fall I had only put about 2,000 miles on it but since I retired and moved down here I've put over 3,500 miles on it. Haven't been riding quite as much lately since it's been over 100 almost every day and I just don't like riding around in a furnace.
The reason I ask is,, IF youre gonna go chasing Better MPG, youre gonna spend some $ & some time. Before I did a deal like that, Id have to decide if its gonna be worth it in the long run,, If you spend $100.00 & 20 hours of hair pullin & you get 10 MPG improvement, how many miles will you need to ride before youve saved enough gas to make it al worth it?
I figure I could change the plugs & wires & rotor & cap on my ol pikkup & get better MPG,, but its okay now,, not too bad, & Id have to run thousands of miles to recoup my investment in saved fuel, so, Im not messin with it now,,
