Re: Cash for Clunkers... anyone ditching their SVX?
30.65 avg miles per gallon before that fill-up, not bad at all.
With as easy as this car cruises, 28mpg wouldn't surprise me, but >30 is a pleasant surprise. And that is on driver's side tires that were below 30psi, when I checked them on tuesday. The passenger side tires were a bit above 30psi, but they all received a couple extra PSI. It even got better than 350 miles per tank from driving in town all weekend, after picking it up. BTW, those panoramics are fantastic.

Re: Cash for Clunkers... anyone ditching their SVX?
Why doesnt the government give us a $4500 credit to convert the gas guzzlers to propane, natural gas, ethanol, etc rather than crushing them. The owners would be able to keep their cars, reduce emissions, save a bunch of energy both in destroying and making cars, create thousands of jobs for the conversions and save a ton of money?

My girl is about to have her mom buy her a new car..... if I can save her mom 3500 - 4500 bucks... maybe I can get some of it back in cash to buy a honda . Unless of course, someone in socal wants a great running but sunburnt 92 ls-l ......

...the rear cat, which can be replaced with very little effort and about $500 in the budget. Believe me, if I'd have had the money, I would have bought this car outright, and kept it right here in our driveway.

Before my trans went, I was getting 22-23.5 with 90% city driving. And my motor is also knocking a little(spun bearing).

Re: Cash for Clunkers... anyone ditching their SVX?
Worst I've ever gotten was a little under 16 and that was running Arco regular before I knew better :P I've been averaging 18-19 in town lately.

Re: Cash for Clunkers... anyone ditching their SVX?
if your vehicle qualifies, they'll wire the money to the dealership on the spot apparently. so if you qualify, it's going to be taken off your negotiated new car sales price.
you know i've never taken a penny from the gubberment. never taken financial aid, never taken unemployment, never taken any welfare or medical assistance...this freebie might just be the perfect 'gateway drug' for me to get in on the system and get some freebies galore. woohoo!!!!
