Had the moment & did it.  Getting 30 MPG, driving 120+ miles a day
while my toys are at home in the garage, safe from parking lot
bimbos and car thieves is not all bad.  205k miles has brought many 
oil changes, 2 sets of brake pads, 1 set of spark plugs, a muffler,
a set of tires, and two air filters.  The friggin power windows, 
cruise control, cassette player and AC all work great.  
The car has NEVER stranded me, but I still have 100k more miles
to go before I throw it away.  I swore that I'd never drive a 17 second 
car, but It has allowed me to plan & execute projects on my other
vehicles without a "Monday deadline", which make for a better job
in the end.  Half of the $$ that used to go into my tank is now
 used for EFI auto experiments.  If you don't drive long distances
to work, your results may vary. 
Cheers,
Mike V
