Get ready for $4.00 a gallon gas prices in the US.

She's almost broken in. My Ford truck has 229,xxx. It has been such a great truck that I hope to hit 300,xxx with her.

I have lots of money pits, expensive cars is not one of them.


HumorMe........you should do better than 10. See a cracker jack mechanic bro.

Yea, I need to go get it checked out.

I was driving the 1994 today and I had to go to the bank to make a deposit and as I was sitting at the drive-thru, I noticed that it was missing or skipping. I could watch the rpm tachometer and it would dip down a bit and of course I could feel it also.

So, it must have a fouled spark plug or something. I have a 3 year warranty on the new engine so I really need to take it in.

I actually have two of them. My 1994 gets 10 mpg. It has 112,000 miles on it but I also just installed a brand new engine in it about 6 months ago. A Chevy 350 and it still just gets 10 mpg. I can't figure that out.

I have a 2002 Suburban also but it gets better gas mileage. One to go on trips and the other to just beat around town in, go hunting, fishing, golfing, etc.

Wife has a convertible Chrysler Sebring that holds about 12-13 gallons. We'll drive that most of the summer though.

Hmmm...that IS strange. What kind of hp are you looking at with the newer engine? My 1995 has 200 I do believe and the newer ones usually get better because they have more hp (and probably many more things too). I sure would LOVE a new Suburban.

Is there a huge difference between the 2002 and the 1994? Drive different? Power? etc...? I could never afford a new one but I sure do love mine.

I also drive a 1991 (or is it a 92?) Geo Metro Convertable that gets around 30-35mpg. I love driving it.

Testosterone boy: I hope that you are correct. My truck isn't perfect but when I'm looking at a new one...I'm glad that mine is paid for in 2 months. Buying a new car is A LOT more expensive than paying for $4 a gallon gas...that is for dang sure. Heck...in 2 months my $400 a month truck payment will be gone and that would buy me 100 gallons of gas IF it goes up to $4 a gallon...PER MONTH. 100 gallons would take me like 1,500 miles
