Re: motorcycle ride = Longhorn

Wow... factory shoulder belts!

The vacuum gauge is probably to help the PO get better fuel mileage while driving.

So when you are running and the vacuum gauge is in the green, that is your best fuel mileage?

yes, it basically equates to coasting downhill. Try to leave a dead stop and you're in the red. Go figure. However, a vac gauge can be a useful tuning tool. To use it to estimate best driving habits is a bit of a waste of time - when you give it gas, you get worse mileage, The End.
