    A decent quick-read about bargain gas

    in General Forums

    Posted

    Say discount gas is $.10 cheaper and you buy 15 gallons each fill-up 40 times a year.

     

    You save $60/year maybe $100 if you save more or buy more.

     

    Over 5 years you save $300-$500 dollars (the cost of fuel-related repair +/-).

     

    After 5 years you'll probably have injector probs, fuel pump probs, or some kind of fuel problem in that length of time regardless of the gas you buy. I buy the cheap stuff for the pathy b/c its 20 years old and repairs are expected anyway. My wife puts Shell gas in her car b/c it cost $25000 and I'ts not paid for.

     

    It depends on whats being protected is worth to you, and how far are your willing to go to protect it.

     

    Water in gas shouldn't be considered because gas isn't delivered with water in it. That gets added at the station deliberately or from poor run-off and bad seals.

    Bought a 1993 on Ebay

    Welcome,

     

    You can probably safely do a few more miles on the t-belt there is some safety factor in suggested replacement time, if you wait too long ouch. Try to evaluate the condition of your waterpump as it's logical to replace this at the same time the belt is replaced.

    Crack kills!

     

    is that a winch on the front of the red pathy

     

    Piece of junk Harbor Freight, You can put up a fence with it, but anything tighter will pull the bumper off. I just re-enforced the back side of the bumper with some strips of flat bar. I need to take it off, it's so small its embarrassing.
