Cool

Topped ‘em off at Costco this evening before the $0.65 gas tax hike on July first. A lot of other folks had the same idea, more cars than usual for that time of night. Price was $4.75 for 91 octane.

Did a little work on the Le Mans before heading out. I swapped the 63 main jets out with some smaller 61 jets, then cleaned and oiled up the K&N air filters to get a head start on leaning out the center carb. I wanted to fill up to begin tracking fuel consumption after the jetting change.

A good excuse to take both out for a nice drive on an early summer night.
