6.404 gallon fill up on lake michigan trip

[coffee_weasle]

Gallup, NM to Santa Rosa, NM: 6.446 gallons. 260.8 miles. 40.46 mpg. 74mph average moving speed.

Santa Rosa, NM to Sweetwater, TX: 6.36 gallons. 247.7 miles. 38.95 mpg. 67mph average moving speed.

It is 18 miles from the gas station in sweetwater to my house. I don't think I'd have made it without the fill-up. Attachment 17139

I would not be that brave without an external reserve. Don't plan on pushing the B for any distance.

Great to know the B holds that much fuel. Like some of the others, I would not push it that far. It does not make a fuel pump happy, to run out of fuel. Anyway, glad you made it okay.

Forgot to comment on the photo. Great shot of the Macinack Bridge. Was it windy when you crossed? Not fun when the cross wind hit you.

You guys are brave! I wouldn't want to push that 840 pound unit around, much rather have the engine do it for me!

I can't imagine that running the tank that low on fuel does any good for your fuel pump, It's my understanding that the pump is submerged in gasoline to help keep it from overheating and failing.

Hmmmmm?

Hot pump in tank full of vapor . . . . . . sounds like a recipe for flying lesson.

Not brave , just takes a real man to do it.

not brave either, just a confluence of no stations and not paying attention

we rode across as early as we could,sunrise was 7:55 local time (eastern daylight time) wind was around 5 mph, very peaceful like a day at the beach (48 degree beach) lol

as you can see by one picture, the wind picked up when we spent some time in the southern end at the visitors center
