I have to hold the throttle to the floor up hills to keep 45 MPH (speed limit) on some of the roads around here. Guess what? I've got 200 miles on the (14 gallon) fuel tank full of "yep, that looks like fuel - throw it in", and it's still over 3/4 tank. 
All the guys I work with laughed when I started driving this car to work. I appeared to be laughing with them, but in reality, I was laughing AT them. They're *****ing about sub-20MPG vehicles and gas being $5 a gallon in the near future... meanwhile, I'm driving around on crankcase drainings and transmission fluid. |
You rock! I have been hoarding WVO for a while ( I forgot to pick up 10 gallons Wednesday
). That's exactly the kind of car I want to get! I'm working on filling my second 55 gallon drum of WVO. THIS is the kind of action that will help this country long term!
I have to change the clutch in one of my Geos over Spring Break, so I will have the old clutch plate to make another coupler for the forklift motor I intend to put in E-Sandra. I sure hope I will be back up and running by the end of Spring Break!!! I think I am going through electric car withdrawals.....
