(another) MPG FIX (possibly)!!

Yeah, think about it--what gunk? Where does it come from? It's not like gasoline corrodes the inside of gas tanks (at least, I hope not!). As long as you aren't putting "gunk" in your gas tank, there shouldn't be any "gunk" to suck out.

I'm surprised you guys don't already have electric and / or hydrogen powered car production. If gas gets that bad in the US, I will build my own.
There must be some point of frustration that yields innovation. What is it for you?

You kinda get used to it....
innovation makes no difference 75% of the price is tax
My diesel will do 40-50Mpg and run on biodiesel which is close to
carbon nuteral but our govt taxes that at $2 gall and they are trying to workout how to tax hydrogen power now
I know we should try to reduce co2 but when the govt hammer you even if you use something more eco friendly it gets a little depressing. Anyway the 8s worth it.

now thats true love for the car, right there!
i wonder how many 8 drivers in the states would keep this car if gas got up to 5.80?
"...through sickness and health, for richer or for poorer, through low gas prices and exorbitant gas prices..."
:D

I've only just gone over 1000 miles, but I'm getting consistently about 16-16.5 MPG. I dropped to 87 octane after the initial tank (of presumably 91) from the dealer didn't seem to net me much more than 13 MPG; I last filled up with 89 and have experienced a little better idling and response, but I think my mileage is suffering again (won't know for sure until I refill, naturally, but my trip odometer seems awful low for where the needle is, compared to the last few tanks of 87).

I can go the rest of my life without hearing the "us Euros pay $6 a gallon (or litre equivalent)".
You guys have governments that TAX THE CRAP out of you. We complain about taxes in the states, and it's only half of what they take (steal?) from you over there.
If you're upset with paying so much for gas, do something about it and vote differently (if your particular country affords you such a freedom to make a difference, that is).
Even in the US, our gas is heavily taxed (relatively). Overseas, the taxing is just monumentally worse. But hey, you get slow and delapidated health care centers for your taxes! What a deal
