Classic Velocity

In another significant milestone, the bus went out for a 20 mile jog. This was the third larger concentric circle following the 7 miles a few weeks earlier, and the trip aro7nd the block before that. For a review of the concentric circles theory you can visit that blog post. The first order of business was to stop for fuel, because the gas gauge read either a quarter of a tank or on reserve or E depending on the incline of the bus. It turns out that the bus only took about 5 gallons of gas so the gauge is clearly somewhat sketchy. It correctly read full after the fill up. The drive was thankfully uneventful, with speeds up to 65 mph, braking was fine, and the only real issue was the idle speed being higher than needed between shift changes and at stop lights. There is a possible smell of fuel on hard right turns that needs further investigation…
