Hi, Jeff!
Since last October, I have put about 5000 miles on my Midget, most of that
on several long-distance (700 mile roundtrip) drives. My preference is to
keep it below 4000 RPM, so I generally cruise at 60 (3500 RPM). The car
has done that many times for six and seven hours at a stretch. My
drivetrain is stock.

Why can't they put manholes in the MIDDLE of the lane?
