Re: 1500 mile vacation to smoky mountains in black pearl

the black pearl still doesnt get the mpgs the grasshopper does, it just seems to shift different right now and it doesnt coast as well. I hope it loosens up some and at least matches the grasshopper its about 2mpgs off right now
i am pleased with the car just hope mpgs get a little better especially on highway!
