Because there is no one willing to tell them they cant. How about we crack down on price gouging and go back to building cars that were fun to drive.

The US need to break its dependency on foreign gas (among other crap).

as long as there is avalibile tune ups as well as aftermarket intakes and exaughst to help to breath better on a vehicle. there is no need to worry as long as the vehicle is well maintained there is no need to freak out. granted when i had head trouble on my monty i had a port and polish done on them as well as a polish the intake manifold to help breath beatter. plus a better spark plugs then stock as well as better exaughst a high flow cat does free up flow as well as the mufflers when having one and going to two of them it does make a difference. what i am saying is do the basics our montis sound good with exaughst as well as an intake. pluse a tune up as well as a better tune if applicable will help to identify all of the mods that are going to happen when are done. example for my mustang i fully built i get 28 when pushing it 38 when i am not. it is all how we drive as well how we find new way's how we get more air flow in the engines

Gas here in Windsor, gas is at $1.15 per litre. Which converts to $4.35 per gallon for regular.

I would love it if we could finally come up with some other kind of fuel that is easily accessible, but also performs as good or better than gas. I would love to be able to tell the greedy oil companies to go stick it.
