its not just about fuel economy; you also have to worry about the crap coming out the tailpipe if you can increase fuel efficiency by 15-50% without affecting the amount of crap coming out the tailpipe, go for it Youre argument is self defeating in a way. If I can consume 50% less fuel then only 50% less fuel needs to be made/store/kept viable. The energy to make the fuel and ship the fuel and service the fuel and create and maintain fuel supplies and all the other additives will BY FAR put out more overall waste than the slight increase that would happen at the consumer level(AKA tail pipe). Additives are even more needed in deisel and cause much much worse problems.

No doubt. The "smoother" shift they program the tranny's with also wastes A good chunk of energy. They end up not letting the dang thing inhale or exhale optimally either.

As in the other thread posted. Crimp > solder

In the f250 I drove long distance in we averaged 21mpg on a trip to Chicago and back. A fair amount of city included. This was stock, no tune and no engine mods. Maybe an exhaust but I don't think so. We calculated with paper and miles on the odo. I drove steady and never gunned it though. Never pulled from a stop fast. Just gentle large truck econ driving. It was one a mix of regular deisel and some home brew bio. There is literally hundreds of HP and TQ hidden under the "green" parts put onto those Ford engines.

Unless you need the sedan shape get a golf. If you need a sedan shape, the jetta isn't a bad idea. MkIII supra will be the absolute best bang for your buck speed machine. Hard to find one treated kindly. It's one of the only asain cars I would consider, and it's on my short list for a project car. It is time after time after time considered one of the best cars in its class price point, and demographic. Also look at Vdub owners and how much they love their vehicles. There is a reason. It's got some of the best build quality. There are some elec problems with the mid 90's at some of the mexican plants(more the jetta and then later "new" bug). Of all the cars I have owned and driven for more than a week my old jetta is still my favorite. I just grew out of it, physically and in taste.

Poor dog, atleast he's alive. Must of wanted that tire pretty bad. My yellow lab has cost me a boat load in vet bill's. He's such a friendly dog and loves to greet everybody. Problem is he has been deaf since birth and the driver turned as Chase was running along side and well the rest not to sure about other than his jaw and the 3rd layer of his eyelid was tore off! $600+ later and he's good to go Moral of the story? You're dog is a CHAMP! And next time I have a need for facial reconstruction and to be sewed up, I'm going to a vet to save 15k?

If you take out the EGR you can get a heck of a lot more out of it too. Amazing how much power is locked up in those things. I may or may not know someone who runs his deisel on used hydrolic fluid that he gets for free from someone else too. gets about 21mpg too. Some diesels work ok without the EGR, some don't But there is a lot of power / liter to be made from modern diesels. Interesting you mention that. I have heard some don'e work so hot without the EGR. Most fellas I know get a tune to to match the fact they took it out. I know the 6 liter turbo from Ford turns into a completely different (as in much stronger, more reliable, more efficient/cleaner) engine without the EGR and other "green" restrictions. Some of the enginears are getting 30+ mpg with the right tune on the fseries super duty's. I hate all the "green" garbage on big trucks. How is it green when it reduces fuel effiencey by 15%-50%? Kind of like putting up light up bill boards to promote turning off lights when not in use.

Another dog removed her nose peices? WTF. Poor pups. I'm taking jack to the vet as I think he has ear mites/infection and I'm all concerned. Maybe the scars will help them get bitches.

It's HUGE compaired to what I thought it was. The one I posted is aparently the GT-R V spec. AKA carbon fiber and special paint. They look like they extracted it from a black hole.

I want teh SQ ryan? Hrmmm.

lol

I think some of the speakers in my truck are going out. I should probably install some of the speakers I purchased years ago. My 18" Q though is now going in the living room... I need to find a new truck sub. I think I'll go for something more SPLey.

My family used them all the time while I was groing up. I remember making a ranch type bean dish in it when I was younger and chicken wings. The wife and her mom can do magic in them and actually make edible food... I hate using them though.

I have had some tastey corned beef come out of a crock pot before. I never use one other than transport/ serving, but I have had some good food come out of one.

you know... that SL looks like something else.....

it just needs turbos.

*glances at dem beats for a reaction* Ford ---> <---everyone else

I have to change the banana hammock now.

what is your price range and why limit yourself to 01-05? Also do you want a vehicle that has a bed or not?

Sean 2004 BMW 645CI There is another one in long lake for 4 grand less. It's got 90xxx on it though. *** ELEGANT SPORTS CAR *** BMW 645ci

Atson knows how to make one sweet onion booty.

I also had Aston pron on my walls. Vantage and vanquish. The v12 Vantage would be on my wall today I bet. I thought I would throw one up here. I'm in love... A bit like the SL though it's so over the top it's almost wrong... but I still love it.
