Re: Cruised to Williams, AZ from Vegas and back yesterday

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary, Yes, meant 16mpg.  lol.

The vibration, is definitely in the rear or driveline.  Not a harmonic
vibration, but only on acceleration/power applied, It does shake the
car just a bit when it occurs.  I can feel it in the pedals and the
floor.  Can maintain speed and it subsides, or give it additional gas
and it subsides.  This weekend I'll need to jack the car up and put it
on stands, then put it in gear and have someone accelerate it while
I'm watching to see where the issue appears to be.
