...Refined from the oils of all-organic, free-range snakes. :p
Sorry, here's where we part ways cowboy. :D
I've used both products mentioned in this thread.
I now use what gave me better, and quite dramatic, results.

I wouldn't steer my friends in any other direction.

I hope they keep the fuel tank the same capacity. I figured taking the Elio only for groceries & church (yeah right!) I would only have to put gas in the vehicle once a year. My grocery store is a 3 mile trip and my church is 9 mile trip so it come out to 624 miles a year.

BUT I can't imagine driving my ELIO every day just for the FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

I can imagine that easily. Right now I drive my Cobalt to and from work (84 miles) and nothing else. For errands or weekend drives I drive my Explorer SporTrak just do it gets run at least once a week. Once I have the Elio some of those errands will be in the Elio just to show it off.

THE FREEWAY OF THE EARLY 80's HAD SIMILAR ISSUES .
THEY WERE SOLD WITH A STANDARD 6 GALLON TANK AND AN OPTIONAL LONG RANGE 9 GALLON TANK .
Wow! I LOVE that car. I lived in Mpls in '79-81 but never heard of this. How much did it cost at the time?

I hear diet is the cheapest way to save weight in the car...:rolleyes:
Yeah, I keep telling my wife that.
:brick:
(When I say that, she just gives me a look and reaches over to tug at my belt. I have absolutely NO idea why.)

~650 mile range, on my 55-miles-per-day commute, means I can go about 12 days between fillups. That's about 2 and a half work weeks, or two 8-gallon fillups per month.

I like those numbers. Those are some nice numbers.
When I first read that, I had this sudden image of you sitting in the shadows, like Ernst Blofeld and his persian (or Dr. Evil and Mr. Bigglesworth -- take your pick) saying, "Yes, Mr. Ford. Those are nice numbers. Aren't they, Mr. Bigglesworth?
