This JRL special is just amazing...

I drove it out to the Berkshires this weekend for a party, and I had a flash of concern when I noticed the temp gauge was slightly higher than normal. All of my cars are rock solid steady on the temp gauge, so I got out, checked coolant level, looked for leaks, nothing found.

On the way home it registered a little bit lower, and was normal as I pulled into the driveway - then I realised I was looking at the gas gauge.

120 mile round trip at 34mpg - in a luxurious leather seat...it's just wrong.
