Andromeda43 Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 How did you know I drive an SUV? ( a Suzuki Grand Vitara w/ DOHC V6)But, you're absolutely right. SUV's, especially the 4WD's like mine are NOT gas savers.However, I pull stumps, pull cars and vans out of sand pits and grade my road with mine. Can't do that with a VW bug or a Geo Metro.I did have a little Chevy Sprint Turbo a few years back, that could get over 60mpg on the highway. Great little car. Gosh, I wish I had it now!By the way,,,,in the last few days, I've done all the things I listed on the Poll.Every one helps a little especially Slowing Down.

rikgale Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 You don't want to live in the UK, petrol is approaching a GBP per litre in some place, and is over 90p per litre everywhere else.It will soon be cheaper to fuel my car with beer that in my opinion is a crime.Feel like I'm being $%^* $%#@ed everytime I have to fill up.

Andromeda43 Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Get this, sell that.....ok......but what are YOU personally doing to combat high gas prices.As I said,,,,I'm doing everything in the poll to improve my own gas mileage.Just today I raised my tire pressure from 32#perSqInch to 36#..Harder and firmer tires roll easier and cut down friction drag. This increases gas mileage.If the price of gas goes down,,,,so does my tire pressure.Andromeda43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsposter Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Amen to the Hemi.I've got a brand new Dodge Charger R/T Hemi. With less than 3000 miles on it it gets better mileage (currently measured by me at 18 city, 25 highway) than my 2002 Intrepid R/T that had a 3.5l 6 cyl.I can't wait for the motor to get broken in. City mileage won't change much but highway should go up to 27 or so. That MDS cyl cut off system really works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
