Well, for those of you who did not come to the club’s 1st ever Economy Run, I certainly hope that you were at least able to get out and drive your LBC because it was a perfect, beautiful day for a drive!
Actually only three cars showed up, a slightly smaller turnout than I was expecting, but I can only say, you really missed a fun event. I chose a route that involved a little bit of city driving, a little bit of country driving, a little up hill, a little down hill and some freeway. It turned out to be 32.1 miles and took about an hour and a half.
So, the results, the winner was Darrin Grabber in his green MG TF, 27.18 m.p.g! Rob Foye in second (but also unfortunately last place) in his red TR4, a very respectable 22.62 m.p.g. I did not expect to be able to go on the event but since there were so few of us, I drove it also, but I am disqualifying myself since I hosted and designed the event. I surprised myself with 28.84 m.p.g. in my little yellow Mini!
Anyway, the five people who participated this year thought that it was a lot of fun and would like to do it again next year. You’re welcome to join us.
