Think of the gas mileage.

That’s an important stat when speed limits don’t exceed 75 in America.

Methanol milage.

Glad M2K beat Hennessy to the 300 mark.

Are there still places in Montana and Wyoming where the sign actually says, “Speed limit: Within Reason”?

I’m afraid they got rid of that after some dipshit sued the state because he got a ticket and their state Supreme Court ruled they needed to define the speeds. Last I heard they do have 80 on the interstate.

IIRC Montana was the last state that allowed you to drink while driving as long as you stayed below the limit.

Unless Mississippi has changed their laws in the last five years, it's still legal there.

When you own a car like that, I don't think "gas mileage" is a top priority to the owner...

Same as when people use to ask me what type of mileage did I get on my 2 dr Tahoe, I use to tell them, "I'd be driving a Prius if I was worried about that."

Amazing that this is accomplished with virtually no aero improvements. This Dodge Neon's run impresses me just as much. 193 mph in a stock appearing Neon is an engineering marvel.

The gas mileage line pertains to a certain poster that insisted that the faster you drive the more your miles per gallon improves.

This fricking guy. Does your F150 spend 6 months at a time in the shop?
