Re: Grand Theft Auto 4

I loved San Andreas, but I don't have a console that will run the new one. The graphics look really good.

Re: What is This Mystery Cargo?

That is my guess. I have seen several of those here in Oklahoma, and we have some windmill farms.

Re: Best highway hypermiling techniques…

Re: AFS Trinity unveils 150 MPG extreme hybrid XH SUV

Re: Ford Ranger, 40 MPG?

I would suggest a soft tonneau if your main goal is FE. I have had the extang black max for about 2 years on mine and it is worth every penny. It is much cheaper than a hard tonneau, and I think it...

Re: When Filling Up, Do You Top Off The Tank?

I always top off, as that is the only way I can get consistent mpg calculations. Once the pump shuts off, I can still get 2-3 more gallons in the tank. I try to fill up by the time it hits 1/4 tank.

I am interested in seeing the results from this, although buying 8 plugs for the ranger would be very pricey.

Re: Your Most Expensive Tank

Re: Trucker Slowdown Yes

I had to take a trip for work today, and on I-40 in OKC all the trucks were running at least 65-70. I would like it if they drove slower, instead they flew around me.
