^That comes out to about $50 worth of gas; shouldn't be a problem. I just need to make sure the site is left over with something after paying for bomber run gas and everyone's brewery tour fee.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
I gave the king room to bramagedained. With the weather I am not going to be heading down. I have too much other stuff going on at the house right now to go if the drive isn't going to be fun. Soon the house will be done and I won't have to worry about it, looking forward to that day! Have fun guys.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
In case anyone cares, we have E85 stops covered. If you cannot for some reason make it the 211 miles our route takes to New Ulm on a single tank, we have an emergency pit-stop in Mankato (there's two actually), so if you must stop, get off, gas up, and catch up!
Oh, and I'll say this only once--bring an extra 5-gallon container. Just in case. Just do it.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
^Ha! I'm just remembering what kind of mileage I got in my Evo, no way would I have made it 211 miles on my e85 tune. 190 was pushing it for highway driving, I'd go maybe 120 miles on a cruise.  The last cruise I brought it on before I sold it I got 8.9 mpg on the way to the destination.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
My talon typically gets about 240 per tank under 'Style cruise conditions, so I should be OK.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
We have two planned E85 stops during the cruise itself, and one available for the drive home Sunday morning. Fuel will not be an issue. Bring tanks if you want, but in the name of safety I advise against it.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
Oh, so we actually are stopping at E85 stations now?
So we don't need to make it 211 miles now?

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
I decided to be nice I have two stations picked out for Saturday along the route and one for Sunday just north of New Ulm that you guys can stop by on your way north towards the Cities.
As long as you can get 100 miles per tank you'll be fine.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
Man I am freaking pumped for the route! We will be going on some FUN FUN FUN roads that I used to bomb around in while in college down south and I have been on them recently in beaterX and they are still the bomb! Great high-speed sweepers and some nice tight twisties.

My 3 fuel jugs will be brimmed and buckled in the back seat and probably a ratchet strap holding them all together.
BECAUSE RACECAR
...hopefully it's enough.
