<< why not tune up your 318? take the money and get a K&N filtercharger - the
 air tube style good for at least 1.5mpg do the regular tune up some good
 copper plugs (AUTOLITES) a good set of wires brass cap and rotor, an O2
 sensor and possibly an ignition like an MSD 6 which will give you about
 2mpg and babby your truck, then take a figure of your 80 mile trip,
 318stock- 80/16mpg= 5 gal per day x 1.50gal = $7.50
 318 mod- 80/20mpg= 4 gal per day x 1.50gal = $6.00
 4cyl- 80/22mpg= 3.6 gal per day x 1.50 gal = $5.40
 you will save 2 bucks a day currently or with the mods listed you will save
 60 cents go figure, you CAN have a 20 mpg dak, ask Jon

Hey that sounds good, i was thinkin of a jacobs system around 350 bucks that
says2-3 mpg better, friend has it and is proven but is it like that with MSD
too, with good plugs wires and copper cap+rotor.Prob kill me if i said i have
the original wires that dont skip a beat but prob are due, rotor cap ok but
shall change and get rid of the crapion plugs.i guess i got some tunin and
stuff to do. if i took an Gen III air hat and modded it to a k+n filter tube
i think that would work, i guess the stock just dontr cut it. Thanks for the
info
