Thats 'cuz you buy Canadian gas...And Canadian gas sucks.

 

that was weak. you usually have better material than that. [sm=smiley23.gif]

 

I know... Sorry.

 

no biggie. I guess I just expect too much from you.

I still get sihtty gas mileage though....only 6-9 mpg in town but can get up to 21 or maybe 22 on the highway at about 55 mph in 5th gear.

How is the goat?

 

Dang, Mike............just can't keep your foot out of it huh? lol I've got a Saleen blower on my GT and I still manage 24-25mpg on average on the highway...........55-65mph. I don't wanna know what my in-town mpg is.........so I don't bother looking into it[:@]

Guess it's a good thing that I kept the old V6 around for my DD. And that, I think, will be the answer to the riddle of how the muscle car and the big power performance rides will survive in a future of big gas prices. People will have their smaller displacement, high fuel economy car for everyday use........and their big boy muscle ride for weekends and fun runs. Well.........at least, that's how I'm doing it.

 

The Goat will get low to mid 20's on the highway. Depending on who's driving. Coming back from Canada last year it got 20 on the nose. But I was doing about 95 all the way across Canada. After the woman runs it out of gas and I go fill it up, it usually says 19 mpg for the around town crap.

 

i think the technology where they shut off the fuel to some of cylinders is the wave of the future. I wouldn't trust it in MY car yet, but it seems like a good idea.

In the future, they'll have torque monster electric motors. an electric motor would make a roots and twin screw blown motor look like nothing in the instant torque off the line department (assuming they had similar peak torque, which the electric has at 0.000000000000000000001 rpm).

 

Was you refering to MDS? I know DC and GM are messing with that but is Ford tampering with it I wonder?

I agree. I think that how the Muscle car and the other high horse power cars will survive now that I think about it.
