I'd buy a Jetta TDI if I could afford it. Or even a wrecked one to put the drivetrain in my Nissan truck....
Gas prices are going up rapidly again.

Almost time to convert the ride to E85 to help save some money when gas hits $4 a gallon +

E85 gets worse mileage. It turns into a wash pretty much.

Noooooooooooo not E85 again.
How bout a Cummins 4bt swap + Homebrew Biodiesel?
Maybe i should start a company that builds swap kits...

Honestly I'm not that smart on engines.
Pacific Ethonal burned me a bit last time people talked about E85 as the next coming.

PEIX (Pacific Ethonal) stocks has been going up lately and so has VRNM (Verenium Corporation) for alternative fuels but BIOF (BioFuel Energy Corp.) has been killing me in stocks.

Already have been. I have 1,000 shares each in all 3 companies. Each American car manufacture is predicting to have 50% of their cars available in a FLEXFUEL option by 2012. This is a long term stock.

Hey Ron... I don't mean to be the lexicon police but you cracked me up with this. I'm sure you ment we should gird our loin. I refuse to believe any of you would be caught dead wearing a woman's undergarment. No offense intended ladies.
OT, prices probably will climb to reflect the 35.5 mpg that new cars will be required to achieve while maintaining the petrol producers needs for profit. On the bright side of this story, it seems that we are getting back on the roads again. Though historically prices do climb in the summer, I hope for the best and praise my DD '00 Cherokee for getting just over 21 mpg lately.
Carry on,
Mike

hmm how will i cope with these gas prices... step one: sell my R6, step two: use the money from the R6 and buy a honda ruckus scooter (100mpg) pretty fun toy and you can hit highway speeds if you do the 150cc swap (only a 500$) upgrade. and have about 6 grand left over for gas 
now only if i could find somebody to buy my bike

Maybe my employer should start doing that since they ................make the engines!
There is a guy on the wrangler forums that did a 89 or 88 YJ, swap was dead easy, he even has the part numbers for the adapters and what not. Got it out of a delivery truck that rolled, $1500 for the wrecked truck, pulled the engine and sold the aluminum body for $1200 or so. Even uses the stock gauges and ignition switch. However the AX5 did not last long
and the AX15 was getting replaced last time I read about it.
