The trip computer was reading in the 20-22 range, and after the oil change I saw it in the 22 to 24.7 range. I measured it on the odometer with a fresh tank, and after 9 gallons of 91 octane I was getting the 24.5 mpg.

It was all highway miles.

I will measure it again in a while.

I bought my lift about 10years ago and paid over $3,000, but I am planning on moving and the lift is too heavy to take with me so I will leave it and buy a new one. My lift is made by Eagle http://eagleequip.com/page/EE/CTGY/LI-SS, I am very happy with Eagle, it held up well after over 10 years so I will stick with the same brand. I just did a check on new lifts and discovered the prices came down, you can get one for between $2,000 to $2,500. I did the installation myself. The ramps are very heavy but I did it myself using jacks plus an engine hoist jack that I rented from a local store. Things may have changed but when I got mine the delivery driver does not touch the lift so you have to get it off the truck yourself. I opted to not have it delivered by the trucking company, I hired a flat bed tow truck to go pick it up for me. The truck terminal loaded it on his flat bed tow truck and he backed his truck into my driveway and slid it off his truck right on to my garage floor.

PS I am leaving the lift when I move to South Carolina but anyone that is near Long Island can have my lift for free if they want to come out here and hire a truck pick it up


Each ramp is probably about 1,000 pounds but if you rent one of these things at a local rental store

it is very easy for one person to move the ramps and parts around and put it together. as I said before it was ten years ago so I don't remember how much it cost to rent the hoist
