I thought of that Johnnie, but where to pump the gas TO 
30 gallons is a lot hehe (of course it was full when the tranny went last year).
Good news, I'm down to 1/2 tank and have about 100 miles on the till. I idled in the driveway 2 sundays ago for about 2 hours (was idling in the video the whole time and that was about 20 minutes by itself hehe)
oh yeah, the DIC says 7.4mpg with the 96 lbers in there

I think something is whacky in the front end atm -- serious shuddering and vibration in the steering wheel from about 25-55 mph (which decreases under load).
Getting the tires rebalanced on Tuesday, but am thinking I'll need a new hoop for the ps front (got damaged when the wheel tried to come off (lugs were loose on the side after it got shipped up here) and because of the extreme toe in and negative camber from the drop, it was pretty difficult to get them tight. I seriously had to tighten them, rotate, tighten, rotate, tighten, etc. Finally got them all torqued to 140 using that routine, but there's a nice gouge cut out of that inner hoop.
It may also be that the drive line angle is a little whacked, but it's kind of hard to tell atm

I walked around all day with a big **** eatin grin on my face. It was very nice, and I definitely need to:
1) get the exhaust leaks fixed
2) add a little toe in
3) check for vacuum leaks
And for all you impatient watchers, under 1/4 tank!!
