typical 4.7 mileage?

Suddenly, without warning, Steve W. exclaimed (11/3/2007 8:43 AM):

Steve, just curious. Did you always live around Cooperstown? You didn't live outside of town, across from a tree farm, did you?

(I know it's a long shot that you are the Steve W. I used to know, but stranger things have happened)

Hey, at least your parents gave you a car. Mine wouldn't even let me get a *license* until I could afford to pay the increase in their insurance - which I couldn't.

Bought my first car when I was in my early 20s. a 1976 Chevy Chevette.

They gave me rights to the car!

I didn't get my own car until I was 24!

SMH

Sorry, Only been here for the past 14 years.

Hey, at least you had something to drive. Like I said, I wasn't even allowed to have a *license* (because I couldn't afford the insurance increase dear old Dad insisted I pay), so once my learners' permit expired, I couldn't even drive until I left home.

Yea, this is where I say I walked to college through the snow, five miles, uphill, both ways :)

Argh. But I gotta Dakota now, and paid for it with my own damn money, not even the bank's, so it's all better now. Balances out, I guess.

what is reality or truth of fact you dismiss because it is beyond your understanding. You would not be the troll you are without responding as such

I think it was Dear Abby that defined middle age as "When you get out of a hot bath and are glad that the mirror is fogged up"

They probably were right, too... lol

My folks gave me their worn out 49 Chevy when I was 16... I think it took me about 90 days to blow it up... Followed by an old Fury when I went to college... I blew that one up learning to street race with in a few months.. lol

Get your head out of your ass and learn to read. Idiot! I did not say a thing about the truthfullness of your post nor did I dismiss it.

I sorta alluded to the fact that we had all read your mind numbing mantra before. If that upset's you, too friggin' bad.

Tom, That's really bad. My '96 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.9 gas motor 5 speed gets a solid 16.5 -17 mpg and its fast. Steve

Lovers quarrel?????

Denny

Hey, I'd have given ya a ride if I'd have seen ya. You can't be scared of old guys in bunny suits can ya???

Denny

Old very fat guy in a bunny suit!

Nah, your neighbor is still a Idiot

Suddenly, without warning, Denny exclaimed (11/4/2007 5:23 AM):

Um. Actually, yes. 'Cause where I went to college, if you wandered around in a bunny suit and survived to be an *old* guy in a bunny suit, you had to be a pretty tough customer!

:)

And to think I gotta go down that way in a couple of weeks. I'll give him your regards......

Denny

Maybe tough but lovable.......

Denny

I think you need to Roy the Troll. (get head out of arse) If you average around 15 MPG, over 100,000 miles, a one MPG loss due to dragiing front axle will use around 500 extra gallons of fuel and at today prices ($3/gal) that is about 1500 dollars extra to keep axle engaged to diff and driveshaft all the time. Losses are some time higher and this amout could double. I do under stand your trouble with concept though as you cannot likely could past your fingers....

At least he didn't claim the OP could save money by using a higher octane gas.
