You could get the LS which gets a bit more on the hwy . It blows my mind that the japanese car companies are bragging about 32 mpg . I'll keep my Buick , thanks .

Naw fool, I wasn't making fun at all. I do like those cars. Especially the GS. They look pretty good, but I am not into the 4 door car thing yet. Honestly, after reading your post, I went on AutoTrader and found an 01 Regal LS with 78k LOADED for about $4500. Not a bad price.

But I was going for mpgs, I would do a 1997 Honda Civic HX coupe. It has no balls, but it gets 44 hwy mpgs..

i take my gf's Toyota Yaris as much as possible. everyone around here thinks im nuts for wanting to get a TBSS but thats my goal. even if it means i have to get a lil toyota or something to hold me over i see no value in bitching about gas prices or changing my vehicle because I only drive 10 miles to work and get 18 MPG in my 6.0 rcsb truck...

Has anyone seen/done this? I can see it working to incresase octane but I'm wondering about the long term effects on the motor. IF it doesn't cause any harm, it would be cheaper...with gas about 26 cents cheaper for regular unleaded, that comes out to about $5.50 for most truck tanks. The recipe at the bottom of the page costs less than that. Again, not sure about effects on motor, though. Found it while surfin' the web.

Just don't drive around as much. Not going to get a gas saver because the cost of that car, insurance for that car, registration, inspection, gas, and maintenance are all more then what I would pay to get gas.

Whatever...I'll counter your remarks in order: buy a cheap used car $1k-$3k max, I now have a pleasure vehicle/multi vehicle discount; my insurance is $12 more a month now than just the TBSS alone, $80 dollars for 1 extra reg.& insp., less gas consumption w/ 4cyl. (87oct instead of 93oct.), I get parts at cost, and the MAIN REASON...I get to keep the miles off the TBSS.:hyper2:

Oh and I think the S10 will still 60ft better than your truck:spit: haha J/K.

Now that would be funny. I have the 2.2L(5ft lbs. of torque) 5spd too. I hope I don't have 4.10s.
