I'm hoping to improve it even further soon.

you do have to appreciate how he tries to understate the obvious

It should be obvious that somebody's trolling

why would you drive something that gets 4-7 mpg if you were in new zealand where petrol is $2.20 a LITRE (roughly $7.20 a gallon) i think you would buy something that does a bit better.

i would never buy anything that gets less than 20mpg

Yes, spark plugs solve everything.

Wait until you go up a few classes.
The motor my brother builds on burn nearly 5 gal a run.
Top fuels and Funny cars burn about 40 gal per mile.

Let's see, 10 gal/6 seconds , that's 100GPM. Explains the 1" fuel lines.

thats nothing i hear the space shuttle liquid o2 and liquid hydrogen tanks uses about 60,000 gal/ per min.

I guess I should change the spark plugs in my furry tractor then...

I had one of those monsters back several years ago. I'd say it averaged about 10 mpg in mixed city/rural road driving. Loved it though for highway trips, like sitting home on the sofa and the mileage would go all the way up to about 14 mpg. That thing would climb mountains and never know they were there.
