2wd for gas milage

also take into consideration a $2000 dollar gas miser (BEATER)....is going to be just that...at the end of its road where repairs are going to be, if not already, an on going issue

Very true.. Part of "situation" I guess. In my case I get parts at cost and do repairs myself so thats minimal. Esp considering my vx gets top quality parts and. a DD would get the white box special.

(i'm still trying to convince myself to get a car that would keep my mileage down )

A proper financial analysis would include depreciation (VX depreciation may be negative or 0), maintenance and insurance. That would likely push the return out significantly.

Although if you sold your VX you might do pretty well, depending on the replacement.

Im still looking for my beater, can find the right one yet, but hopefully this weekend i'll drive to orlando and go to there cheap-o dealers. Trying to buy something around $500-3000. I've had my eyes set on those ugly geo metros. They get 40-55 mpg and are cheap all around. Also on the CRX, but to get a cheap-o one , the HF i think is the gas saver model, not sure right now. also looking at old 3 series BMW's, old VW Rabbits and even the toyota celicas.

What about a motorcycle or moped? 75-100+ mpg depending on the bike. And you still get the cool points

I agree with what you guys and ladies are saying about having a second gas sipper to run around in. What you have to avoid is the 2000$ and under Honda or what ever that cost big to keep running. Over 100K miles things like timing belt, injector pumps, bearings, exedra can coast more than the extra gas to run the VX. I've always liked classics like old VWs. a nice bug or Karmen ghia gets good mileage, easy and cheep to fix, gets lots of attention, and increases in value. I know some of the old classic can be a little uncomfortable,a price for beauty. I drive a 2002 Jetta diesel 40+mpg every few days or so.

so we're back to the 1967 vw's....never a bad place to be

Any body here ever look into hydrogen generators for our trucks, or any vehicle? I have read a little, but all I can find seems to be someone else trying to sell me their kit for SEVERAL thousand dollars, or sell me a do it yourself kit that I doubt will work or would wind up damaging my engine.

I think you answered your own question..... :-)
