Re: Gas mileage
The main reason those and other countries have high gas prices is because
they have only minimum refinery capability and have to import their gas form many countries of which the US is the largest supplier to all of them.

Someone's tagline says that lights timed for 30 Mph are also timed for 60 and 90! I have friends who are constantly messing with their Harleys in search of more power, but they can still be smoked by any stock 650cc crotch rocket. I prefer to drive my Jeepster when not on a bike, but it's not built for fuel economy If you really want economy, find and old VW or Mercedes Diesel, but stay away from any with engine problems. My 82 Jetta returns 50 Mpg on the freeway (rarely going there) and 40 while driving hard in the mountains. I paid $400 for it and have spent far more on tires in the last 5 years than on parts. There was one on Craigslist for $500 recently nearby, but it was an oil burner. And, for Bill, I can smell it when I follow it in another vehicle, but can't see any smoke. -- Stupendous Man, Defender of Freedom, Advocate of Liberty |
