I have a 11 gallon tank and 6-71 blown 350 mileage isn't one of its attributes!

Got this in my 40 Delivery and if I'm not into it can get a respectable 17 to 19 MPG

Great mileage! I have hit 16 mpg without my foot into it, on a 60 mile jog I passed one car (rapidly) and I checked my mileage and it was arond 9 mpg, I have to look at it as I am not driving a blown rod for fuel mielage I guess.
As for Rogers comments, I agree 100%, I don't get behind the wheel as much as I would like too thats for sure, but the list you made (dang near all the above) keeps me from it. You forgot to mention the guys that spend the time in the shop building these things instead of driving them, I have spent my umpteen thousands of hours working on them thats for sure for many years, maybe it doesn't qualify me as a rodder in some peoples books but keeps me happy. I talked to a pro bike builder a few weeks ago, he builds customs everyday, said he has got to drive his less than a day in the past few years and has magazines waiting to cover his builds before he is done, idoes that mean he's not a biker?
