    I always stop driving before 7pm. It's worked for me.

    I only drive my car for a window of 4 hours each day it helps me burn gas more efficiently.

    I'm trying to install a new body kit on my car would you guys think I should go with P90x or Insanity?

    I heard filling up in the morning helps your engine get a jump start and help you get better MPG all day.

    I put 1 litre of petrol in my car every day and drive 200 miles a day. Why isn't my car working right?

    I heard if I put rocket fuel mixture in my Tank for 10 days I can gain 15 MPG!

    My car keeps stalling, any ideas???? I don't think I put enough fuel in, but I heard you don't have to take into account the amount of miles you actually travel, you just put in a set amount of fuel per day. It's kind of a 'one fuel amount fits all' number.

    Will I burn more fuel if I wax my hood ornament 3 times a day? :blushing: Or should I take into a shop to get it waxed? :bigsmile:

    I take several short trips throughout the day instead of making a few long trips to get my errands done. Really makes my car run more efficiently.

    My boyfriend won't support me in buying a new car, he said my old car drove just fine. Is he sabotaging me?

    This is brilliant.

    But I do have a real question - - is there anything behind intermittent driving? Like, will I get better net performance out of my roadster if I just drive it really fast for two hours per day rather than at an average speed throughout the day?

    By the way anyone who doesn't use biodiesel is destroying the planet. I can't see how you people can live with yourselves.

    I'll only drive a "real car "

    Pink cars are fine but you won't get there as fast as driving a bulked up Dodge

    Answer only if you can handle the truth: Would you kick the tires, wash the windshield, rub the leather seats, or FUEL THAT TANK?
