The coach ran so well with the new FiTech fuel injection system that we drove home without our normal overnight rest stop. Not that the trip is that bad normally, but with the constant stress of listening to the engine do its occasionally rough running – just short of fuel starvation – I hate driving all day. This time we drove the 9 hours with no trouble at all and I didn’t feel anywhere as tired as I normally do, even after a shortened day.

I measured the mileage for 1,062 “Barbie” miles (10% more than actual) and got 8.5 bmpg vs. my normal 7.0 or less. I will continue to monitor the mileage for a while to see if that holds true.

Other than how the coach ran I cannot think of anything else to report. The weather was very pleasant but not hot enough to tell if the “vapors” are really gone. Before our next trip I will be fixing the main waste tank valve and running a ground wire directly between the battery and the starter (a good suggestion from Ben Price at the rally).
