I am still amazed that SUVs are not a thing of the past that we look back and laugh about yet. $4.00 a gallon getting 12 to 15MPG would make me extremely broke. I drive about 300 Miles a week so that would average out to about $100 a week in gas for one of those things. $400 a month… Lot o money… problem is some people need that kind of vehicle. Do I like filling up my dmax at 4.50 a gallon and the crappy winter milage, hell no. However I can’t put sheets of plywood and 2-4 in a civic. > [@Beat, Contain, Destroy Forum Game](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/beat-contain-destroy-forum-game/48598/17): > > Carbed no. > > EFI, yes. > > See LSx or LS1 swapped 2wd t56 2.93’s.

First one of those that goes, I am buying a 94 S10, 2wd and putting a 4.6LSX in it, 4l60 and a 2.93 or smaller rear end it it for a daily. I want to see 30mpg highway from it. thats the goal. Pass people at the pumps, and say good by to ODB2 inspections every year too, hello cheap insurance, and have a fun sleeper too. North Star swap in S10? Also for MPGs stick with a T56 way better gear spread and the double overdrive --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/more-auto-food-for-thought/262981)._
