[quote name='Rob x-7' date='May 4 2005, 04:53 AM']thats a fuel saver right there!

You can now hang out with the Prius and Insight crew



on a serious note, if your taking cans back for gas money, maybe get a reliable fuel efficient car.

yeah, why do you need a fast car anyway? if you go fast youll get a ticket and that will cost you more money

That starts adding up after a while. Especially with how expensive gas has been getting lately.

been there, still there, i just want somethin im gonna be happy in, and im not gonna be happy in some stupid like 89 HP grocery getter, the 260 will get approx 24MPG if im careful on the pedal, and i can run the shittiest gas in the world thru it and it'll never complain, so i cant complain either..



on a positive rotary note, i may have enough left over to buy a proj RX and start learnin to build my own motors

old small blocks tend to run only on premium, unless its some real low compression smog era small block, otherwise you may need to adjust the timing and carb to run on cheapo fuel.

around here the difference between a 16 gallon fill up on regular and premium is 7 dollars.
