>>Well yes, I think my next car will be a Volkswagon Jetta Diesel. I may need to drive long distances in the near future and the fuel cost will be much less if the vehicle gets twice the mileage of my current one. OH and the Broncos win this weekend. What was that question again . . . <g>

I have decided to invent a car that does that. You have to start trips on empty and it will fill the tank as you go. I think taking the motor out and turning it around may cause that effect. Just think, you could pull up to the gas station every 300 - 400 miles and sell THEM the gas in your tank! After I perfect that, I'm going to build an oil tanker!
