Now if the US would pull its head out of it's ass and go full bore on corn booze. It will never happen as long as we have a president with oil industry ties.

Ethanol really isn't that great. It cost a lot to produce it, and also more pollution gets put into the air producing ethanol.

i get 16 mpg in my brick on wheels, but its fun and i dont really care what the gas prices are,,, because jeep+single= fun!!!!!!

i bought a Toyota hilux 20R, it gets only 12mpg and the engine is rebuilt 0.0! Producing Ethanol will increase the brice of food. and producing it causes more polution. Ive been toying around with Propane injection

I shift at or before 2K every shift and get 24-26 MPG in Bumper to Bumper traffic.
Thats in a 6Spd Vette , Im sure the 6 Spd helps some with the MPG

This is the best way to save on gas.....and even Click and Clack from "Car Talk" will agree!

That's how my Cherokee it, but has an old "economy car" engine (basic design from the Rambler I-6 first released in '64 with EFI and emission controls). I did pay "only" $3.07 on sunday:-(
