The yanks can stick it
Lots of History around "God save the Queen". Dont quite understand how anyone could be offended by it's use, I think it shows a respect for our heritage. I must admit when I first moved to the UK and heard God save the Queen I was a bit shocked that a song I so closely identified with America was based on the British National anthem. Now if people want to use this as an excuse to have another go at Americans then bring it on! As an American living in the UK I am used to taking the abuse and am happy to respond in kind. Some key facts - "God Save the King" was the first song to be used as a national anthem, although the Netherlands' national anthem, Het Wilhelmus, is older. Its success prompted a number of imitations, notably in France and, later, Germany. Both commissioned their own songs to help construct a concrete national(ist) identity. The first German national anthem used the melody of "God Save the King" with the words changed to Heil dir im Siegerkranz, and sung to the same tune as the UK version. The tune was either used or officially adopted as the national anthem for several other countries, including those of Russia (until 1833) and Switzerland (Rufst Du, mein Vaterland or O monts indépendants, until 1961). Molitva russkikh, considered to be the first Russian anthem, was also sung to the same music. It is also the melody to the United States patriotic hymn "America" (also known by its first line, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee"), and was played during the Presidential Inauguration parade of President George W. Bush on 20 January, 2001 and sung by Aretha Franklin prior to the inauguration of Barack H. Obama on 20 January, 2009. In Iceland it is sung to the poem of Eldgamla Ísafold. The tune is also used as Norway's royal anthem entitled Kongesangen, and was used for the Swedish royal anthem between 1805 and 1893, entitled Bevare gud vår kung. The tune is still used as the national anthem of Liechtenstein, Oben am jungen Rhein. When England played Liechtenstein in a Euro 2004 qualifier, the same tune was therefore played twice, causing some minor confusion. The melody of "God Save the King" has been, and continues to be, used as a hymn tune by Christian churches in various countries. The United Methodists of the southern United States, Mexico, and Latin America, among other denominations (usually Protestant), play the same melody as a hymn. The Christian hymn "Glory to God on High" is frequently sung to the same tune, as well as an alternative tune that fits both lyrics. Use in other Commonwealth countries "God Save the King/Queen" was exported around the world via the expansion of the British Empire, serving as each country's national anthem. Throughout the Empire's evolution into the Commonwealth of Nations, the song declined in use in most states which became independent. In some countries it remains as one of the official national anthems, such as in New Zealand,[35] or as an official royal anthem, as is the case in Canada, Australia, Jamaica and the Isle of Man, Tuvalu, to be played during formal ceremonies involving national royalty or vice-royalty; in Australia, the song has standing through a Royal Proclamation issued by Governor-General Sir Ninian Stephen on 19 April 1984.[36] Two or three bars form a part of the Vice Regal Salute played either for Governors-General, Governors, or Lieutenant-Governors. The National Anthem of the United Kingdom is also used in all British Overseas Territories.

130 miles to a tank!!! is this normal?
I get 250 - 350 miles in my N/A depending on how I drive it. Something is seriously wrong with yours, I cant believe your emissions are OK. Get to a good Z mechanic it will cost you less than 2 tanks of fuel to get the problem identified.

Half way though installing new heater matrix, will reinstall the dash tomorrow. Next up will be a lightened flywheel, clutch, lightened pullies, single piece prop shaft, and may remove the AC. Everything should be done before the first meets of 2009.
