^ oh great is that all

sux but I'll live not gana trade my car in for a geo over a few bucks extra on gas. just hope they open it up soon.

on a side note, I bet the gas companies love this, they get to mark there prices WAY up for a year to cover the week of down time

Happily here in the midwest it went up 10 cents 2 days ago, but then went back down another 10 cents today so no affect yet.

Oh and my 94 ST got better mpg than my 93 geo prizm base model. Unless your talkin metro action with a 5 speed (3 speed auto takes it down like 15-20mpg)

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 )

time to bypass the compressors lol j/k

[airfron]

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

[creis]

eh, easyer to convert your car to run on tap water, thers a how-to somewere.

or get a old valvo desal and convert to bio

[Consynx]

water. . .

. . .

breaking the Hydrogen off it, or what? lol
