What are you doing about high gas prices ?

Doc · 06-10-2008, 04:43 AM

driving less? ... buying a little 4 banger daily-driver ?

anmracing · 06-12-2008, 06:43 PM

Less V-8 Driving. Sold the 442 and started driving the Mitsubishi Eclipse a lot more..... Bummer......

78D200 · 06-12-2008, 07:13 PM

still building the D200 but it'll probably only be for when I have to tow and have a little extra money for fun driving. driving slower in my dakota. having a manual helps out too.

Doc · 06-12-2008, 11:40 PM

I would like to hear from someone who has "built" a MPG version for either a V8 or 4 banger.

anmracing · 06-13-2008, 06:13 PM

I'm hoping the EFI we installed will help. I want to make the Belvedere my daily drive......

Any of you seen this??

Doc · 06-13-2008, 08:18 PM

HAS that EFI helped at all ? ..what were you using before all this?

anmracing · 06-23-2008, 09:46 PM

It was a 780 mechanical secondary Holley.... It was getting about 8-9 miles to the gallon. I didn't build the last engine to save gas though......

So anything will be an improvement...

gilesie · 07-29-2008, 02:33 AM

I am actually quite fortunate there,
the fuel is supplied by my boss for the daily driver and the dodge is basicly a weekender.
so what I save during the week can be used for play

I've got my Crew Cab up to 17mpg. It has a 97 360 Magnum with a 518 hooked to it. It still has 4.10 gears.

What year CC ? .... what is your rpm at 60 miles per hour?

My wife and I have been carpooling for years now, but we just recently added a third person to our daily commute. Now we drive our cars every other week. Cut the old gas bill in half!

I stopped driving my suburban and Express van to every job I go to. I bought a 2.2L sonoma that I use for the little jobs. When I need material delivered or more tools I grab one or the other.
