Smile post-BOMB mileage

Hi, all--Been moderately BOMBed for a couple of weeks,now, and decided to get an MPG # (now that the obligatory fuel has been sacrificed to the "where'd he go!?!?" gods)
after pumping,reading the trip odometer,and adding 10% for tire diameter, I wound up @ (drumroll, please) 16.5mpg for mixed freeway/city driving. No, I do not "baby" it, except for running largely unloaded. Was about the same @ stock HP...Haven't done a good long highway run to compare that kind of driving, but, it appears that I got the MO-POWAH! w/out an MPG penalty

BTW-- ordered the re-0880 yesterday from the autoparts chain store. The privately owned speedshop near my house has gone "under"
It should be here Monday, but concievably today ....gotta borrow buddy's holesaw /// Might try to cobble up a desert-heat version of the Psychotty from sheet-steel and a layer or two of f-glass, or just order a real PSA and insulate it... we shall see...
