When you start posting pictures of the LSD induced HR Puffin Stuffs from the early 70's, I'm calling Mental Health.

on the way home from work tonight, i got 2mpg on my display at WOT. i've seen 1.5mpg before, but we'll use 2.
with a 16.9 gallon tank, and assuming a top speed of 140mph (that's a rough guess), i calculated .24 hrs, or 14.4 minutes before the tank runs dry.

EDIT: i'm several beers in, and i think my math is wrong, but i'm not doing any more equations at this point. also, the electronically-limited top speed is 136mph, so i'll use that.
