Thanked 2,582 Times in 2,051 PostsYou've got clocks? Thought you'd got rid of them on the weight loss program and was using a piece of rope with knots in it to measure your speed LOL Originally Posted by p fandango

Thanked 2,582 Times in 2,051 PostsOr grind out the plastic from the back of the needles, all the plastic in the back of the clocks thats not needed and all that heavy plastic in between the numbers on the clock faces (though that may be a bit extreme LOL) Originally Posted by p fandango

I might only get about 300 miles from a tank on my T5, but those 300 miles are a lot more fun than 1000 in a diesel. There Ive said it, let the haters begin. hehe
Yes I average about 20 mpg. I have no restraint.
