"TEST THEN KNOW"



So my last tank was Mobil regular mixed with 4.401g Mobil premium. Got 24.5 MPG....... :facepalm:



Now I'm filled with premium.

...and THAT tank returned 23.4MPG (because I spent a good portion of it flying).


Wednesday my new light 17X7.5" Enkeis with studded 225/50 R17 94T Goodyears arrive. I hope the different size doesn't pooch the dry-road handling too drastically.

Size? Last I drove a car w/ studded snows on it, dry "handling" was pretty much non-existent.

I should have said "unpaved roads" because I had studs on the last one; I'm slightly concerned about sidewall height (therefore flex and roll-over).

I know paved-road handling will suffer, as will braking.

gotcha...as I recall from posts past, you don't drive much different off paved than on paved :mrgreen:

Actually I do; I slide (sometimes I push the front end, or broadslide the rear, but I particularly enjoy four-wheel drifts) much more often on unpaved :shock:
