Elio And Gas Prices

[Craig]

It's nice to know, if the price of gas doubles, we will still be paying less for the month than we are now. If it triples, we will still be paying what we are now.

That's why you need to keep your pit bull in the car when you're away from it....

Used to have a 7ft retic python. Drove from Ohio to FT Hood TX when it was smaller (4ft) with it sunning on the dashboard of my truck.

You can keep your pit bull and (shudder) your snake. I would rather pimp (I think that means decorate doesn't it?) my Elio to the point no one would dare steal it. Now what can you do to a car that makes every removable part recognizable at a glance. Hmmm May be a whole new art industry in the making. :-) Z

Move the gas cap to the back behind the tail lights (55 Chevy) this would make it ambidextrous. Just put a hinge on the tail light cluster, run the gas tube along the inside and hook it to the end of the one coming up from the tank to the side door.

Only problem we will have is, this will become the number one stolen car on the market.
No hole in side panel, no need to manufacture a gas cap door.

See they moved tha gas intake to the passenger side. I liked it better on the drivers side (P1). JMO
Probably will still reach form either side.

I liked that comment because I thought you were making a joke - Driver's side versus Passenger side. Both sides are the Driver's side.

I also prefer the fuel fill on the drivers side however Elio has actually addressed this particular item directly. I believe it was in one of their Tech Talk messages they stated that from an engineering standpoint it was just much easier to put it on the right side of the vehicle. When I get a chance I may have to dig around and see if I can find the actual quote.

Placement of the fuel fill is not a problem for the driver in Oregon. It is against the law to pump your own gas. :-) Z
