Hadn't considered the difference in gas mileage between running on straight convertor, and direct. I wonder what the difference would be.

In comparison, my daily driver (2012 Sorento) gets 32mpg out on the highway, has A/C and Sat radio and seats up to 7. So I think with a long drive like this, it is going to be my vehicle of choice.

Plus the Clipper is not much to look upon at this point. She still needs a lot of work before she is ready for public scrutiny.

If I get far enough along with the rust repair and the tranny stays together, and the weather looks clear (no weather stripping remember), I am possible thinking of driving the Clipper to Laughlin.
