Your quote mister fish of real gas being purple is what puts your car on the street yet not on the road. Not everyone wants just a car for the streets. Real gas had lead in it and all the squawking about government crap I hear here never once mentioned what the past administration done to our gas.
Holy Syst, WHOA WHOA WHOA Wait a minute here HOtlines. What gives. I feel like this 2nd use of "Mr. Fish and the following post is like an isluting crack at me not to mention the tone of this is feeling ill.
WTF did I do to start getting this kind of reply?
Lets go over this a bit. First up!
When I was a kid pumping gas, I remember it being purploe and when it was no longer colored, the guys would ***** and run that line of "Real gas is purple"
Your remark of current fuel not being up to task may be correct, but this I do not know. Perhaps your making mention to the fuel the OE poster has purchased/is purchasing? To that end, i agree it could be the cause of poor mileage.
The OE poster is looking for something. I think I joined this discussion and added 2 cents (Worthy or not) in trying to help and figure something out with examples of what I did. The mention of my '79 Magnum inculded the words, stone stock except..... As a '79 engine, it runs on 87 octane. I made no mention to the OE poster about fuel or anything about fuel at all. But yet I feel jumped on with YOUR CAR, words. 3 out of 4 rides at my house use 87. My Cuda, which is a total horse of a different color use's 93.
So your shoving of that statment is off baseless and rude. Not to mention missleeding to others that might have missed what Isaid, or forgot when they come back to this post. Your remark makes it look like I have not read the OE posters post and went on some tanget on the use of purple fuel. WTF is that all about?
And then you go off on some Gov. statement? Ploitcal forums ? Scrool down1 I'm not interested in a political discussion or otherwise on what or what not the gov. did to our fuel. Theres no place for it in this thread.
In the 90's When I lived in Haverstraw NY which is in Rockland county I used to drive my Signet to Jersey running a dual quad roller cam 318 and go in to 20's, even the 70 Vega with its 350 did the same and as I learned from my teachers, its all in the heads.
I'd love to know the whole combo... if ya can remember it.
Today, my 1990 truck build with its 350 plus horsepower and six speed has plenty of power and gets appx.18 mpg around town and in the 25 mpg bracket on the road, that's what it was built for in this day and age, and all on regular.
Excellent! Now, how do we get this to the OE posters car? With the use of parts he has/selects?
Oh, I lived in Long Beach and very well known back there even to this day
In bold, what do you mean? I do not understand. Your well known there?
