I would love to pay $2.40 for gas. If that is expensive, don't come to So. Cal.

Hey guy if you plan on 1 mile to the gal. with that blower i would suggest that you put carbs on the blower and check for fuel running on the ground.Even with 4.56 gears and the most radical set up the minimum should be 5-8mpg.
