Thanks. So it gets slightly less fuel economy than my cat with twin big blocks. Guess the cat is staying.

Oh yea, a cat will be more efficient in the fuel department. Especially when you consider the 292 is 7500+ lbs loaded. Although the 292 sure is comfortable! Stand-up power bolsters, plush interior and cabin, and it knocks the waves down pretty good too! It's all in what you are looking for...
