Improve Your Gas Mileage

I heard about some thing a person here in FL had on there car and they were getting 200 mpg. They had just bought this car off the lot and started telling a lot of people about it, I think they were on the local news channels. Then some guys dressed in suits and shit broke into there car and took a part off there vehicle and the mpg went back to normal for that model car.


Not sure if this is a myth or what, but my dad claims it's true.

For you people in the bigger cities, check out E85 ready vehicles. It's made w/mostly ethanol to prevent fuel emissions and cut down our dependency on the foreign oil market. You may already be driving an E85 vehicle:

i had an email about how to get gas prices to drop. boycott certain gas stations so they'r forced to drop prices. shows the consumers are in control.

it was just a chain letter on myspace. dunno if that'll actually happen.

in theroy it would work but you would have to get everyone in the US to not buy gas. I think if no one bought gas for 3 days the price of gas would go so far back down

i didn't say not to buy gas. just said, everyone go to the cheapest place and boycott the others and they'll be forced to lower prices to compete. but in essence, the cheaper place would hike up prices if they got so much business probly.
