    Your engine is bound to grenade at any moment. Best go ahead and overhaul it now.

    I put a little sprinkle of sand in my engine now and then to keep things interesting.

    We also know your Mirage is a better anchor than a boat!

    Grumpy is going to have to bite the bullet and join the fun. And quit riding around in that planet killer of his.

    Maybe I'll end up selling mine and buying a granola tesla to make up for the "how dare you's" my truck puts out when I go camping lol

    Not me, I'm not that cheap. 6000 km, max

    My planet killer is getting 20 mpg on E85. About as clean a fuel as can be burnt north of the equator. Uses a biodegradable oil. Last longer than two in "normal use" planet killers further reducing its carbon footprint.

    Oh, just wait until I get the G4.

    I've always wanted to try some E85, but never owned a vehicle that could run it. At 20 mpg, you must have a 2WD SCSB V6. No?

    It's crazy that a light v6 1/2 ton gets 20mpg. My 8000lb pig can get 20mpg as well. I managed 20 for an entire tank, didn't do anything special other than try not to floor much. Got 1000km out of that tank. I never did it again but often get 17-18 when not towing anything(which never happens anymore). Towing our old glamper I get around 10-11mpg lol I can't figure out how to start vijeo at the proper time...My tow pig is at 2:18


    Edit: Did this thread ever take a hell of a derail.
