Hint for Getting Better Gas Mileage
Adding two ounces of normal Acetone
(available at any hardware store) to each 10
gallons of gasoline in your tank, will boost your
miles per gallon from 20% to 30%, and often more,
depending on the newness of your car.
Someone sent me this in email. Any of you guys know if it's true?? (Bet Dogula will..........  )

Or you can buy a GenX2 and get 60-150km more a tank.

I drive lots of miles....about a quarter of a tank daily! Gas isn't too high (around $2.80/gallon)...but that would buy ALOT of beer!

The thing is...I get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for miles and there is only one person in the car. Until people buddy up or take a bus...I'm thinking gas isn't too high yet. |

I'll never drive a 4 cylinder again if I can avoid it. I do pay more at the pump for a V6 but at least it goes faster when I hit the gas. I really hated the days of having to take a run to get up a steep hill and having to slingshot pass a car in front of me. Now I can hit the gas and go, regardless of where I'm pointing the car.

Dude, I went from driving a 12 second supercharged harley truck to a 12 minute POS hyundai accent...You don't need to tell me how it is. I'm just too broke to do anything about it now.

I wasn't rubbing it in d00d, I was just commenting on how much I hated being in a similar position.

Hehe, it's all good. I just hate what I drive...that's ok, one day I will own something really fast.
I'm thinking an R6 crotch rocket. Day that happens is the day I die though, so I'm postponing it for a few years.
