[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 905880, member: 12952"] food for thought...........[URL='https://web.archive.org/web/20080809114752/http://shadetreeconversions.com/']Shade Tree Conversions at Shade Tree Conversions.[/URL] Fifty years ago, my father bought a new Ford car with a small V-8 engine and an overdrive transmission. It got just over 20 miles per gallon on a trip. My wife drives a current production full size Ford with a small V-8 engine and an overdrive transmission. Guess what! It gets just over 20 miles per gallon on a trip. Twelve years after my father bought his car, America put two men on the moon and brought them back, but fifty years later, automobile manufacturers can’t seem to be able to increase our gas mileage, but they build European versions of the same cars that get approximately 60% better mileage. Just imagine if every car in America got twice the gas mileage. Imagine the billions of dollars in tax revenue our politicians would lose. My partners and I were trying to find a way of surviving today’s outrageous fuel prices. We have developed an engine and transmission package; a full size pick-up that gets approximately 40-50 miles per gallon. What we have accomplished through trial and error and thousands of dollars; you can achieve with a simple set of plans. It’s the combination of these parts that transforms a 15 mile per gallon vehicle into a 40-50 mile per gallon vehicle. [/QUOTE]
