With my car, I get around 35 mpg on the highway, depending on the weather. And how fast I drive.

The parts I'm talking about weren't used - just the usual stuff you get at NAPA. I did buy a front bumper and the those energy absorbing bumper thingies from a junkyard though. My wife crashed into a car and pushed it into another car. The Cavalier sustained minor damage. I was a bit shocked to find that the G forces were enough to bent the filament backwards on the bumper mounted lights. That was a pretty good bumper. > > With my car, I get around 35 mpg on the highway, depending on the > weather. And how fast I drive.

I just left off the sarcasm marks. Couldn't resist. ;-) >> With my car, I get around 35 mpg on the highway, depending on the >> weather.
