Didn't buy the car for gas milage. But I probably would drive the Honda more. The SS gets better milage than my 07 xterra 4X4.

I already wussed out and bought a daily driver (rsx). part of the reason was because i wanted to rebuild my car but the gas prices kind of pushed me into it also. I would only drive my z28 on the weekends if gas prices were over 4.00.

For what a Toyota costs over what I paid for my car, including mods, I can buy a lot of gas. So HELL YEAH I will keep driving it. We looked at Camrys and Accords when we bought the wife's Saab. We got a year or so old 9-5 with around 30k for what a 6 year old 100k Toyota or Accord would have cost. Hell we couldnt even get a used Prius for that money, and it gets over 30mpg with it's V6 turbo. So screw Toyota and their overpriced ****.

Thumbs down

Only a *** would worry about gas mileage when it comes to buying a car or driving Gas mileage should be the last thing you think about when wanting/owning a high performance. I have 2 LS1's in my driveway and plan on adding another LT1-LSx sooner or later. I don't give a damn if gas is $5 a gallon

The answer is yes. I'm driving my V6 camaro around now, because my Formula is down. When it get's fixed the Camaro will be getting an alcohol 383 although I'm now contemplating a BBC.

I've seen this too, but I think it was a regular gas motor they used when I seen it, we have a local guy who does this and you can really tell when he's been to KFC!!!!
Most places use canola or peanut oil to fry their food. AKA Bio
It burns in the same manner diesel fuel does. AKA Diesel

Bio + Diesel = Bio Diesel.
