It'll probably be a little less.

Those extra wheels on the back will drop it some.

Hey, you have a better VP44 though, more resilient to the tapping of the wire.

EZ won't hook right up, you'll either need the adaptors or a newer EZ.
Can't remember which years are interchangable, but I think it was 98.5-2000?

Mine gets between 24 and 26 mpg depending on how hard i push it for takeoffs. theirs nothing like getting almost 26 mpg at 90mph (empty of course) with a 10,000# boat and trailer i still get 22 to 24 mpg at 65. What i dont get is why my milage goes to sh** between 1900 and 2100 rpms like down to 13 for that range. as long as its below 19 and above 21 i get great milage.
