allow me to rephrase my question to add "if I was paying someone to do the work, how much would it cost?"

Since it was a servicing error that ruined his engine, it cost nothing since insurance paid for it. Now my Isuzu Diesel has 130,000 and is just nicely broken in. No tune-ups required either. Also, I get 12 to 16 mpg. Genset is propane. 12 is when towing our VW Jetta Diesel.

Engine tunes up are cheap in 454s. Cap, rotor ($25) , plugs ($1 ea), oil filter, oil ($25), thermostat ($6)....takes about a hour to replace and time.

No biggie.

I get a consistant 7.5 - 8 mpg plus in our 345 when towing our Beattle. I keep it tuned, replaced the ignition (to stock) added headers, 2.5", H pipe, rebuilt carb. I also run regular pump gas.

I think the biggest thing I do is keep it between 55 and 65 mph when travelling.
