QUOTE Oh and my 94 ST got better mpg than my 93 geo prizm base model odd, there the same motor i think  prizms got the 7afe too (well one of the geo's got that motor)I was thinking about a metro 3cyl though, there like 50 something mpg, although they have no power at all. (I want to mod a metro so bad, like put a 150hp triumph bike motor in there and turbo it, would be so fast )

ITS A CONSPIRACY!!! j/k
but i bet that BP sabotaged the pipe themselves in order to charge us upwards of $5/gal preventative maintenance is so much cheaper than replacing it, they let that happen  when i saw that on the news i thought about buying a new skateboard and a rottweiler to pull me on it... i mean think about it the poochy runs on water and the annoying children in my neighborhood for fuel so gas prices would no longer be a cause for concern
