    is it possible to improve the performance of my car if I put less than 1200ml petrol in the tank each day?

    also, my friend said I should drive on the motorway, but I'm scared my car will get bulky so I've only ever driven at 50mph in the slow lane. However another friend said I have to drive in the fast lane for it to have any effect. I'm scared to drive in the fast lane, I don't think my car's engine is big enough and I'm scared it'll get bulky.

    I was thinking of getting pure crude oil and straining it... I just saw this Documentary called "Large, Broken, and Almost at the Scrap Yard". Does anyone want to go on a 14 day Gasoline Strike with me?

    Cars are not adapted to run on fossil fuels. They are not natural fuels for cars.

    Cars should only be run on pure canola oil.

    Has anyone ever filled their gas tank with epoxy instead of gasoline? I want to hear from others who have tried this. I hear it trains your car not to rely on gasoline. I only want to hear from others who have tried this.

    Click and Clack said on Car Talk that coconut is only recommended by quack hype pitchmen, and that it will clog your injectors and your catalytic converters. I wouldn't do it.

    You guys have surpassed my expectations in cracking me the hell up!

    By the way, I just got a FR from somebody and they have nothing but hot little exotic sports cars in their friends list. Think they're just a friend collector / creeper?

    :laugh:

    I put my car for sale on craigslist for $1200. Somebody wants to offer me $1900 for it, but I'm scared to take that much, so I will stay firm with my $1200 asking price.
