catfish,
Pulls pretty good. It's no diesel, but it fits my needs. I can maintain speed on hills, although the motor sings doing it. This motor was made to rev, and it does! I got 13.5 mpg average last week on the interstate going 62-65...couldn't believe it. On the backroads, I was getting 9-10. In a headwind, i got 7.5.:E Unloaded, I'm getting 15 on highway, and 12.5 in town so far. It's only got 1,458 miles on it. I'm hoping it improves a little after it's broken in.
