Subject:      GNATT fuel log

Volks, This is a fuel log from GNATT - hopefully the first in a series of summary posts. I know this probably won't interest anyone except Joel, =) but here it is. I had to squeeze the last two columns into one to fit it into an 80 column page, and some info is missing, but the totals are accurate. Noteworthy facts: 1800cc engine, 100% stock with dual solex carbs, van weighed 4400 lbs. Oh, and the first tank of gas was not filled all the way to the top, and thus the first mpg figure (15.08) is artificially low and not used in the summaries. It should also be noted that there was a lot of driving in high elevations and over steep roads, which was responsible for some of the lower mpg figures.
