just get a cheap motorcycle. I got one and in the summer I ride it every day and fill up once a week. only costs me 11 bucks with premium definitely worth it.

Alright guys, I've went back and forth about selling the jeep. 10 mpg is killing me man. So ended up putting on craigslist for 3800 and i got offored 3300, decided to take it. Guy was going to come pick it up at 5 today. Just called him a hour ago, told him not to come. Then he went to offor 3500. I dont think i can do it. So guys! Its time to work on my gas milage! My uncles gonna take it for a few days and mess around with it and try and get the gas up. Im also going to order the 784 injectors. Time to do something with this thing. Let me know what u guys think!

Man you would really regret it... like any built car, it becomes your baby... I hated sellin my miata when I did, but now I got a new baby. I guess gas prices all effect our wallets differently though. Especially when your a student... personally, I drive a 96 ram and my 98 xj... gas sucks but I suck it up lol

Man be wise about the money you spend if its that tight. Ill give you an example of what I mean. I get 17mpg out of my xj and 27 out of my celica. If I sold my celica today for 1400.....I could justify paying for more gas driving the same amount in my xj as I would my celica for 2 and a half YEARS before I would use up all 1400 dollars from sale of celica. So, what im getting at is to not spend a lot of money for minimal gains when you would be better off just paying for it at the pump.....think about it. Many will agree with me
