I agree with all you guys,
O2SDGS, lostape45 and JJaySilver.
Last year my baby giving me 380 miles in a trip. I was so happy when I see how many miles I have for that trip for a full tank. Just the empty light start show up when I look again and was 382 miles. So, in the end if I push in the car a little be, I believe I can get 400 miles easy.

On the highway you can easily get 400 a tank going 80, it's just surprising how much of a polar opposite it is versus the city mileage. The car is also currently on snow tires and even in the rain going 90, the car is rock solid. I've never owned a car that varied so much. I keep planning to sell it, but I just can't get myself to do it

Again, I agree with you on this, I keep planning to sell it, but I just can't get myself to do it.

I agree with you guys, the city mileage is just pitiful but the highway is great. Sure the 2GS has a couple quirks here and there but this car is getting driven with me to my grave. I absolutely love it.

Put my car in the garage for the winter😔 Got a little spoiled with this warm weather this winter but, they salted the roads last night so it's a wrap for the GS till spring.

Next up is to refinish refinish the 19" Carlsson 2/5.
Still on the fence if I want to keep chrome faces or have them brushed. Dishes are getting curb rash smoothed out and re polished.

Looks good! I'm jealous, I'd love to get mine shaved but I feel like I'd miss the inner tails.

Yea I agree! The inners give it that distinct look that our GS's have. Without it, kinds looks odd. Not bad at all just not my style.
