I just got home from church driving the A. I turned the gas off as I turned off of the road into my driveway. I had to wait a few seconds for the door to go up and right in front of the garage door there is a short incline. Not too steep but you definitely know you're on a hill. Car died just as I got it in the garage. It stopped at just the right place. Right where I would have stopped had the gas still been on.
That will be my MO from now on.
I'd like to drive to French Lick next yar. Round trip that's over 500 miles so even if I change oil just before leaving I'll have to either 1) change oil while I'm gone, OR 2) go more than the recommended 500 miles between oil changes. Based on conversations above I don't see any reason to change oil during the trip.
I have no way of knowing the actual mileage, but I've figured out how to get there without getting onto any interstate highways. Going through STL will be miles and miles of city streets though. Strictly using I-70, I-64, and a couple of feeder roads Google Maps says about 5 hours and 350 miles. I figure twice that time in a Model A. Maybe more.
