I drove to Fla and back, over 1100 miles, averaged 80 MPH, zero oil consumption.

You BIG tire ****
:lol:
BFG loves me........... :eek: You too can be a BTMF :yesnod:
Reason I ask is driving to, during and after home from SC I burned 3 quarts of 10W-40. Bear in mind that's over 25 1/4 mile passes and sustained speeds of 75+ for 900+ miles :reddevil with bursts.
Car runs to good to be much of an issue and the plugs look :thumbs: with near 20 mpg. Might do some testing on pressures though.........car has nitrous on it so the rings may be an issue.........about 4K on the motor.
Just wondering.............so you's guys go drive 900 miles & give me a report back :D :cheers:
p.s., Vince, I expect your report to be to the gram :jester were are those videos!

On last years trip to BG (1500 mi. round trip) I used about 1/2 quart. That was with only pass down the 1/4 and some playing around and high speed bursts on the way home.
I would say it's still about the same now.
