  :-) Yep, most Daks don't seem to get very good mileage. (Personally,
I'm starting to think it has something to do with the intake design. That,
and perhaps the computer could be tuned a bit leaner.)

   My gas guzzling, constantly rich, V8 club cab brick gets over 20mpg
on the highway at speeds between 65-80 with the A/C on! (It wasn't always
that way though; I used to get about 18 highway, stock.) I can't wait to
see what its going to do when I get it running with an aftermarket EFI
setup that can be dialed in exactly the way I like! :-)
