Bus is looking good.

Don't make any conclusions about city versus highway driving. I have sixteen years of fuel logs in front of me that can only conclude that these gas tanks are weird and do odd things to fuel dispensor nozzles such that you get one tank of gas that claims 22 mpg (I *love* this car!) then the next gives 9.7 mpg (what a pig, must sell).

thanks! I also found few little things i need to take care of. My replacement speedo cable is making a racket. it just sounds like its twisting and flopping around at times. Reaching under the dash and pulling it up seems to fix it for abt 15 min. :).

I also need to figure out why my aux battery is not charging. im using the busdepot relay kit but it seems pretty flimsy. does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to set this up?

and a few more pics to fufill the requirements of this forum category
