Death Valley 2013 a no go

Well, for a variety of reasons I did not go. One of which was not haveing confidence in my 109 yet. The rest of the reasons are personal so I won't get into them.

I did however put another 160mi(3/4 tank) on the Land Rover. I went over to the local airport and back doing a 2 lane mountain road over and coming back on a 4 lane hwy. I did get up to around 75mph at one point, just trying to see where it would go. I used 7.9gal and got 20.29mpg.. So with a 12US gal tank I should be able to get 243mi to a tank.

My 109 was packed and ready to go when I decided not to go, So sorry Paul to disappoint, and it became clear that I could use an extra fuel tank instead of carrying cans inside. So I will work on that.
