Why did you "offload" it merc?

1996 Chevy Silverado

Didn't pay for it, so not complaining. Except for the gas mileage it gets. I've spent upwards $100 a week on gas at some points.

I liked my old car, 1990 Geo Storm that got a little over twice as many MPG as the truck does.

Jesterrace

04-12-2004, 03:44 PM

No kidding. I am considering getting one of those little POS Honda Scooters that gets 90MPG because my RX-7 isn't easy on gas. It gets about 3-4MPG better than your Chevy Truck.

:eek: i thought u guys in the US didn't care about fuel economy- with it being so cheap

p.s. I lived in thailand when i was kid for 4 years and in bangkok, the tuk tuk is the only way to get around-

admittedly i didn't actually own one, but i've now got a nissan micra (14years old :eek:) which is about as powerful as a tuk tuk with about as much room.

its on its last legs now though- maybe i'll be able to get it through one more MOT- this is what it looks like although mine's red and got 4 doors and got a load more rust on it (in order to reduce weight ;))

the paint has "weathered" unevenly too :D

A little off topic but I have a gass guzzler too, I spend $20 bucks a week and only end up with half a gallon...wtf! I average about 12mpg...stupid f**in dirty car. With registration,gas, and insurance the vehicle costs me about $400 a month. The price you pay for the joy of sitting in traffic for an hour.

17MPG is only 13.84L/100km's. That ain't bad at all. I burn more than that whilst driving round the city. On the freeway I do better.

Think you better ditch the 13B and upgrade to a 26B (you know the one from their LeMans car).

If you want cheap fuel, move to Lybia. Think it was about 10-12c/L when I was there.Yeah, I would imagine that your car has just a few mods and that is why you don't do any better for gas mileage. Mine is all stock. In regaurds to the engine upgrade, I would love nothing more but I don't seem to have the 10-15K USD lying around to be able to afford that kind of an upgrade. Eitherway though I don't think I will upgrade my car. I have decided to hold off on my modding until I get a 3rd Generation RX-7. Maybe something similar to this:

freakit...YOU HAVE MY DREAM CAR!!! That is F'ing sweet!!!!!

I have a 2000 Durango and a 2000 Trans Am 6 speed
The next car I buy will either be the last year made of the WS6 or Ram Air Trans Am. Or a Nissan 300ZX twin turbo. I'm not much of a Nissan guy except for the 300ZX. The Altima in the pic above is my wifes car.

Its a shame they stopped making the Trans Am and Camaros.

Its a long story, but I traded a few cars to get the 68 above. I had a 85 Z28 and traded that and $800 for a 62 Impala. Then I knew a guy that always wanted a 62 so I traded him my 62 Impala for his, now mine, 68 Camaro. It wasn't much of a car when I got it. I built the motor and went through 2 trans that were pro built. I had to re-wire the entire car and put in new floor pans. I didn't mind though. I really use to be into working on cars. Not much time anymore. I always wanted to tub it and throw a 427 big block in it.
