remind me not to show my dad. Since he retired, he's been on a gun buying spree.

Buying an extra beater for mpg worked out for me, back when gas was $4 a gallon and I was driving 128 miles a day round trip. I paid $1200 for the car, the gas savings paid off the car in the summer of work and I kept it for another 3-4 years, put about another $6-700 in repairs over the time, and sold it for $1000.

33k miles a year and your not a product rep??!??!?!

It had a talk highway gear and that average is rush hour.

It got 13 when she was healthy. 13 highway or 13 in town. It just didn't matter

I get 10 in town/highway in town, but on long journeys when you just go 80 I can get closer to 20. I still have a problem with the gas pedal being used on the highway though so it is normally closer to 15 there, but gas is not an expense I pay attention to.
There no way you could get 20mpg if you got that thing on the highway and just set the cruise at 80 for most of a tank.

Helga gets a constant ~30mpg highway. With 8 gears of gets awesome MPG all the way to 75. I never go faster right now.

The second I get to side streets or heavy traffic it drops so bad. I also get into the go pedal from stop signs...

My mixed is 17.3 now driving 30 more miles a day. It was 15 mpg before.

When I go out of town I will reset and I'll be over 25 without blinking at >70.

The expy getting 20 MPG highway is completely reasonable with how modern transmissions work and how good fuel management is today.

I averaged 22 after the supercharger on a 50 mile ride.  Tail wind and flat though.  Closer to 70

I was SUPPOSED to buy a BMW today, but it was sorely misrepresented by the owner.

I had three of those.  The one I "bought" I haven't seen yet, but it is in clean up at BMW finalizing the certification.  Should be mint according to them.  Obviously if not, I won't buy it.  Saved atm for me though.  4cyl car :(

It's been non-stop here since 2AM. Fucking BS! The ground is still warm though, so it's melted quite a bit. I was at my parent's house aroundhere 3 and they already had 6".

Bought my daughter a 2001 Toyota corolla this morning and got home to a message about the beetle. The fellow came and loved it, no more beetle for me.

New clips, perhaps? We ran stock clips on race GNs with 150 pound pumps.
