 Nope, I can't get 18mpg, but at this point, neither can my 95. I can
 however get about 9mpg, which isn't bad for my setup. Air conditioning,
 I'll just roll my window down. Cruise control, ummmm, my truck never came
 with it. I know some shelby's did as a dealer installed option, but my
 truck never got it.
 
 So how do you figure out your corrected e.t's. My dad has a little computer
 that I think will figure it out, but I don't really wanna wake him this
 early.

That's cool Scott, and I am really not dogging you. Heck, I may even join you
with a carb of my own. The truth is I'm half way jealous of you probably
spending 1/2 the money I have to run the same times.
 There are many sites to go to calculate your corrected times. Corrected
times level the playing field for those running in crappy weather or higher
elevations. Now we can all run like they do at HRP. ;)
