    lol.. i love driving.. specially small cars.. i don't like to drive Van or truck...

    i'm using 91 right now.. and is expansive as hell... the price over here in Concord went up to $2.30 ($2.05 for 87)...

    yea.. since my cat-converter died.. i had to change to full exhaust system with new Cat-Converter.. i'm going to use my the 5 Zigen muffler from my old totalled corolla.. that way i can save about $200

    104/130 = .8, which means that the drivetrain loss is 20%. So you're making 161 at the crank then. But those numbers are really inaccurate. The dynojet at modacar measures power with the wheels/tires ON the car while they turn the big roller on the ground. The dynojet at bauer porsche removes the wheel and only measures power that's being transmitted to the wheel well section. So the numbers are really non-comparable.

    EDIT: I'm paying $2.37 for my 91 octane gas. I wish we could get 92 or 93 octane gas out here.

    according to the guy who sold my corolla that it is not good to "break in" your engine after 12000 miles...
