[attachment=1360]Don,

Sorry Don, I hate to destroy your image of me.  I know I seem like such a rugged individual to you.  But I drive a Chevrolet 4X4 35,000.  On the other hand I did manage to find your ecological Smart Car you drive.

fShaun, I see your 3500 comes with a trailer hitch, to pull the gas tank behind it...:icon_cheesygrin:

By the way, come to think of it, that does look like me behind the wheel of the "rickshaw crusher"....:icon_cheesygrin:  But bet I can get from one end of Bejing to the other in 15 minutes....haha

Well Vince, I am pretty dated and getting more dated every day, how about a 455 olds? what's bigger??

Ted,

No, I do not have a truck like that.  I was messing with Don.  I drive a Ford Explorer.  I can't talk about anything else you mentioned. :icon_cool:

I paid 2.43.9 with a .10 cent discount yesterday so I imagine it is about $3.00 or a little more in LA.

Yes a truck like that would cost a lot. I get almost 20mpg but about 12mph when I will the trailer.  My bus gets 5mpg.  I put in 40 gallons every 3rd day.  I would hate to pay that bill.

Don,

Who is your investigator? You need to hire a new one. They work most of the time! I promise.

Shaun, gas is 3.99.9 here, but it goes up and down from 3.50 to 4.99 a gallon.  Probably why no one wants to visit...:s

By the way, if gas gets too expensive, do what I used to do an use "drip-gas" it works. :angel:

Drip gas is just low octane non-leaded gas.  In the older cars and trucks, ie; 350 chev etc.  you could adjust the timeing to compensate and run it.  I used to run it all the time, was never stopped, and a lot of other people ran it also.  We would get it from the tanks at the oil fields.  Your right on the power factor, cuts it down, but hey it was free...:s

Thanks Mike,

White gas is what I know it as.  I grew up in the oil fields of West Texas and never heard the term drip gas.
