Last weekend when we dropped our kids and their friends off at the house, my wife and I acted like the two old farts we are and made close to the same run but never got over 1200 rpm. Had Margaritaville Radio playing on Pandora and I don't think the needle moved more than a very slight fraction. I guess it's like smoking meat...low and slow is the way to go.
David hearing that you too are burning significant fuel on your run with the 1847 makes me feel better. I was starting to feel a bit of buyer's remorse with the 1433. I was thinking the extra lip on the 1847 might help, but maybe not.
