The TR6 registered 5,400 and something miles.  I didn't keep accurate 
records but I think it averaged about 27 MPG and 1,500 MPQ*.  The TR8 stopped 
just shy of 5,000.  And Kansas is not as flat as reputed to be.  And the 
Western part can be very exciting - though not necessarily in a good way. ;-)

*27 Miles per gallon of gas and 1,500 Miles per quart of oil, much better 
than I was expecting.
