    Put some sugar in your gas tank, I hear cars respond well to this....

    NO NOT SUGAR!!! splenda or sweet n low
    nevermind the people that say it will make your engine fall out

    You know, I was going to say use the sugar free sugar, but thought I would get attacked by all the sugar free sugar is lethal advocates, I always use sugar free sugar in my tank, and it runs fine....just sayin...

    that's cutting it pretty close to 5$ my friend. Unless you can buy a lighter for less than a buck. Now what?!

    Of course, but its mainly used for cars, the reason why I suggested it....but IDK, I am sure in small quantities it would not be unhealthy for a human body......

    Cars don't need gas, or oil. Just make sure you are putting plenty of water in it, and it will be ok. It may eventually turn into a bicycle, but they are more efficient anyway.

    Exactly what I was going to suggest. I read it online.

    Not sure why it wouldnt run, everything you are doing sounds like normal maintenance on a car. Let me look it up on youporn to see if they have any suggestions! I will report back later.

    Youporn....goodsigh.gif

    Back when I was growing up all we had was National Geographic.

    Fortunately, all the MFP control freaks will ignore this thread due to the topic title. Everyone pretty much covered all the proper suggestions.... I guess all I could add would be to make sure that you don't use ethanol added gasoline because it will lower your fuel mileage and end up costing you more to fuel up.

    Joint, but to be blunt, you really should just stick with what you are doing, it seems to be working well for you car so far...

    I was watching a infomercial/documentary on this just last night.
    All you need to do is send 3 easy payments of $39.99 to this company in Antarctica, they will send you a blend of sugar free sugar made from an african cactus and rare chinese noodle water, and your car will turn into a Ferrari in just 10 days!!!! It has been used for centuries by neandertals in Polynesia. There are only 2 of these cactuses left in existance.... and last year they sold 4,500,234,712 bottles!
    The mechanic who created this applied to Harvard once, so you know its totally legit! Plus the before and after photos were totally untouched. I know because I learned to use photoshop in middle school.

    Another thought would be to try the fuel injector cleaner/engine oil flush/radiator flush to get all the toxins out. That should make it run like a scalded dog!!

    There's also an orange light that says "Check Engine". It's always on. Is there any way I can turn that off? It's really distracting when I'm driving to work and trying to watch a DVD or read the newspaper.

    Come on, I figured out how to fix that when I was 16. Place a picture of your boyfriend/girlfriend over the check engine light. You won't notice the orange light at all, not until the engine falls out and the mechanic asks if that light was on, and you say 'No! Of course not", and then he removes the picture, revealing the bright orange "Check Engine" light.

    See? Just that simple!

    I'm trying it with my speedometer now. A cop can't ticket me if I can't tell what speed I'm going!

    A banana in the exhaust pipe works wonders too...

    That's not necessary. All you have to do is close your eyes when you drive past the cop w/ the radar gun on you. He can't see you when you close your eyes. :wink::laugh:
