More Wheels

May  9, 2002

Last night I had three more new wheels put on.

I made that decision after deciding I would drive it the way it is for  a while, instead of moving quickly to update the suspension. Interestingly,  three more new wheels have improved the ride and handling. I did not expect that to be the case, but apparently the old wheels were in worse shape than I had imagined.

I also discovered that when driving an indicated 55 the sub traverses the space between two mile markers in 60 seconds. I don't think  this is either a time warp or wheel phenomena. I think the speedometer  is wrong.

I filled the tank for a second time yesterday. I got 17 miles per gallon  on my first tank. I was prepared for 10 or 12, so this is good  news.
