Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see

I don't commute to work I walk,,, my beater is a 92 Toyota Celica ST 5sp 290K,,, I replaced the engine with a smaller jap 1.5 (1.5's are cheap they almost can not give them away) ,,, if you keep it under 65MPH it will get 35 are better,,, not bad for a $200 car.... Total investment $1000 with new tires,,, my son drove it to collage 3 years and I have drove it 4 years...

I could not keep my wife out of it so brought her a extra nice 93 Celica ST 5sp 165K for $300,,, rebuilt the 1.6L engine because It has about 10 more HP than the jap 1.5L,,, it gets 33.5 are better just depends on how you drive it but I have yet to get less MPG... I have had it 2 years total investment $1800.00 with new tires ( Had to built the engine twice something got the crank after the first 400 miles)... add $100 for cruise control...

I found a 94 COROLLA 1.8 5SP 180K 4 dr.but had a bud that really needed a small 4dr car bad so let him have it ($1400) it averages 34 MPG... Its a fun car to drive and has plenty of power,,, All these cars a EZ to work on and are dependable...

If those celicas were geared different I am sure they would top 40MPG easy... My next choice would be a Honda Civic but they are hard to find cheap.... For mileage you need a small engine with a 5spd...

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
