Well, we made it to Houston and back with our 540 Cad Twin Turbo.
We tried to travel around 65-75mph, but we did 80-85 to make it to a club.
We still managed to get 8-9mpg.
I am sending in the oil sample Monday to see what has been going on inside
the engine.

Jim,

Good on yah, Mate!

It looks like you've broken the spell of bad luck and we'll be seeing the CTT at more conventions from now on!

Sounds good to me. Teri and I were riding along via texts out and back. You got a little fast heading home but that is how my old horse was. I could not slow him down when he figured out we were heading for the barn. I suspect the oil will check out fine this time. Take care of that engine, sounds dependable to me.
