ORIGINAL: LaTigresse My 4wheel drive truck sits in the garage and collects dust most of the time. I love it, it loves gas, gas is expensive, I like eating and having a roof over my head and all the luxuries of life........like electricity and running water. yes i hear you there...i have a big old oldsmobile that sits idle most of the time because it guzzles the gas, the honda is more moderate....still, a big truck is sexy to me, gas guzzler or not! [sm=car.gif] -=2 mpg Story=- I have to tell my 2 mpg story. As mentioned earlier, I came into a 1970 Olds with a huge 455 ci V8. When I first got it, would put the top down and drive it a few miles to work and back every day. The damn thing used a whole tank of gas in the first week. So, I marked the mileage and measure it the following week. It was about 2 miles a gallon. I was astonished and thought I must not have kept the notes correctly. After having driven it for 2 weeks I finally decided I could part with it for a day to get some custom wheels and tires. My slave followed me there so I could leave the car. On the way home, my slave mentioned she had the solution to my gas mileage mystery. She said while following me, when I took off, gas poured out from behind the license plate like a garden hose was on. It seems that after 30 years the rubber seal on the gas cap had eroded completely. A $3 gas cap fixed it and I got about 12 mpg after that.
