Nov 1 2019

Drove to work and back about 200 miles. Then some highway to dad's in Parker for a brunch. It seems this exhaust has low torque at low rpm and consumes more fuel than the one that used to be on there. I have contemplated changing it for better highway mileage but I don't drive it much on the highway. Filled up before GD&T course in Longmont.
