Charlie's alternator quit putting out voltage early Saturday so he would run until the battery voltage went down, he and I would swap batteries. After jump starting my car I would charge his battery back up while he would tun off of mine. Then we would do it again. Anyone know what the going rate is for charging bayteries?
Yeah. Help with disassembling a Fiero.

I did not put "alternator" or "car battery" in the list for RFTH.
Many years ago, I was in the hospital in Memphis, TN. When I was released, the car I had to drive home in was a Ford Pinto. Maybe a '78. Of course, the alternator would not charge the battery, as I found out, about an hour later. It was sortof rainy outside, and this was on a Sunday. I limped the Pinto to a parts store. They verified the bad alternator, but no one had an alternator in stock. There was no help but to drive on. So, I had them charge the battery fully, left the lights off, and only used the wipers when I had to. Several hours later, I limped the Pinto home.

My excuse for not finding that is poor vision. I'm glad it was an inexpensive and easy fix.

I'm wondering, too. It was OK when I parked Friday night. At least I think it was. I didn't notice it until a few miles into the run. Could have just been coincidence.

I try to plan as few stops as possible because it sometimes takes time to get everyone back together and on the move. The larger the group, the more difficulty.

I thought we fueled up twice. Once at the convenience store that was packed with cars and the second time with only two pumps with access due to the dude on the rolling platform painting the overhang.
You're correct. We did. I forgot about the Shell station in Burnsville.

We kept communicating on the radio as to everyone's fuel level and my battery level. I knew I could make 150 miles on fuel and the GPS was telling me it was a little over 160 to my house. The last stop for me, Roger and Scott was about 164 or thereabouts on my odometer. The battery still had enough power that Scott's car had no trouble starting with the partially discharged battery.
We had filled up at the station beside the hotel. When we filled up at the last stop, I only needed 4.1 gallons and I packed it to get 4 gallons. I'm still doubting it, but the MPG calculations said I got 40 MPG and at times we were running over 85 MPH.
Post by: GTRS Fiero on September 27, 2019, 10:53:27 pm
Where was the 85MPH calculation done?

You have a 5-speed. My 4-speed gets great highway MPG.
