    Is my new suby worth putting money into?

I got a brand new axle from them $85, fit great and has lasted over 2.5 years no issues. any $2000 "stickered" car is going to need work. end...

    Ethanol usually increases consumption such as an E85 vehicle may burn something like 20 percent more fuel than E10 (flex fuel). I know from my experience cars which recommend super such as with turbo's, get better mileage with higher octane fuel due to ability to advance timing and boost without...
