Ya'll don't get 10 mpg [except for stealth when his truck is done] so with fuel at 3.69 a gallon the cuda don't go far, Wiregrass was was the limit i will push it. I would love to be able to go futher but finances and a 43 year old car with an unrestored engine limits my distance,if she croaks i can't afford to fix her, the cuda is a luxury toy that would have to wait till other bills are paid.

I hear that lou, (not the 10 mpg) I have always been weird about breaking down somewhere along way from home. I had a bad experience with a friends family a couple years back ...

Been there done that too many times i hate being stuck anywhere,my ram has broken down but i finally got it started and home, the cuda took the big poop and came home on a hook [how embarasing leaving a cruise in on a rollback] my ram has broke down again this weekend ordered parts tonight [lift pump/fuel filter] hopefully this is the fix if not my next repair is 1700.00 for an injector pump,which i ain't got so i'll park it and find another daily driver and save up my pennies till i can fix it.

I consider it a good day when I'm getting at least 10 MPG! LOL! Plus having to put in premium, long drives can get real pricey!
