[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4085321, member: 15054"] I drove my Ford Van I built for 13 years and it finally developed a miss which was one valve needed lapped or seat recut. Gas was inching up and I was getting killed at 17.6 average MPG sometimes 16.7 MPG. I mocked it up for a Small block chevy to replace the built 306" Ford that was in it. Gas hit 4 bucks a gallon and i scrapped it all out and bought a Geo Metro 3 cylinder. Wife was driving the Corolla. Ended up getting a Vibe for her same 1.8 liter engine as the corolla 30 MPG for the Vibe 33-35 for the corolla. Lot of my friends with new trucks can't get that 16 to 17 my Van got. These higher and higher gas prices are a wallet drainer for sure. [/QUOTE]
