Removed the belts and went on a 35 mile test run. Results below. The beginning temperature was 50 and ending temp was 60. Since my wife(who is tiny) drives this car sometimes I don't think she could handle the extra effort required at very slow speeds to turn even though I had no problem with it. I also want to see how much lost occurs just due to the AC belt but due to time constraints I didn't have time to test that today. First run : Normal set up Gal used .9 Avg MPG 37.0 Avg MPH 34 Second run: With removed belt Gal used .8 Avg MPG 40.2 Avg MPH 36 I was surprised with the results I was only expecting a 3% increase. With the power steering belt replaced it might fall down to that range. Will any damage result from driving with out the Power Steering? There is a noticeable increase in acceleration with out it. __________________ Top ten prediction FE for the Brain
