ba hahahahah good luck with that, they keep delaying it, you probably will never see it.

I had my federal return in the bank for 2 weeks already,what you waiting for?

Even P metric tires can be aired to 44psi(standard load) or 51psi(extra load) before any risk of over inflation caused blowouts will occure.Poor tires that result from lack of maintenance are the main reason for blowouts.

This.
Underinflation causes more blowouts than overinflation. In fact, ThunderbirdJunkie has never seen a blowout from overinflation.

In most measures (that I'm familiar with), capacity is listed as 1/2 of the actual break-strength.

Yep with VP 110 leaded race gas at $7.50 a gallon,then gotta mix in good quality 2 stroke oil(Maxima Caster 927) which is $28 for 1/2 gallon and mix 25:1.

 

[rockymountain]

Just going to add my experience. For the past 4 years I've been getting the best gas mileage when I fill up at the Meijer by my house. Why? don't know. I get 15 in the winter and 16.5 in the summer. That's with duratracs, lifted and not driving like a complete ass, but get the ef out the way type of driving.

I don't drive much on the highway at all, but when I do my average goes up.

Ethanol is stupid. Its detrimental to any sort of forward progress.
