Several years ago, I heard a NPR piece on Brazil and its use of "Flex"
cars. These cars can use gasoline or alcohol or any mixture of the two.
Here is a link to an article I found about the same thing:

you can't kill a toyota. You have to run it without oil on a cross-country
trip with a bent axle and then you might maybe come close. Maybe. Mine
survived and wound up being towed off because it had body damage and I had a
title issue when the tags expired.

Pretty much the same story here.

bought it in 1995.

Not true at this time of the year. Yesterday was in the low 80's, but in
the IE it was nearly 90. I did finally take the cover off the swamp

this year. Man that was nice.

I just found an article about it, and basically it's because with all
the safety stuff and "comfort" add-ons, cars weigh more so they need
bigger engines. But, seriously, how much can air bags weigh? I'd take
crappy cloth seats + air bags & high MPG over surround sound, sync,

I took it in last summer for an overhaul. figured keeping it running well is
cheaper than a car payment.
and sitting at 50K in total miles feels pretty good.

Yeah, ain't that the truth. I have been driving my brother's H3 lately
since he is out of town. It costs me over $160.00 to fill up my truck as
opposed to less than $100.00 to fill up his car. They get about the same
mileage so I am saving $$ for the next week or so.
