Strange but true..
I went to a Taco Bell Friday Night in my Delorean and also got a free Taco 
Supreme...
Different Reason..  They couldn't hear my order at the drive up through the 
small windo.. then..
She couldn't hear my order through the small window because I was so low I 
guess.. then when I finally got my food there was a FREE extra Taco 
Supreme.. I'm not sure why..

Anyway, this weekend I drove my Delorean on a 450 mile round trip.. That's 
it's biggest test since all the work.. I'm now comfortable driving it 
anywhere on the highway or in the city.

Everything went perfect.. and.. I checked gas mileage which turned out to be 
between 27 and 28 for the whole trip..   At this point, and after doing most 
everything to my car the only issue seems to be that it idles at 1000 rpms.  
I've checked every spot for air leaks and so have several mechanics.. Any 
idea why it would idle at 1000 when it's warm.. It seems to be at 750 when I 
first start it.
