My '94 pickup with only 50K on it feels brand new (if a bit bouncy and crude).
I try to be as green as I can in almost every area of my life, it's really important to me. I just try to think about all of the car parts that stay ON the truck and functioning, instead of being busted and cast into scrap piles, landfills, etc. One thing I'm looking into, is I just heard about an aftermarket intake/aircleaner set-up for this truck that supposedly adds horsepower (not that it needs it, it's a beast) and also adds 4-6 mpg. I think it costs around $1500, but with a mileage increase like that, it would pay for itself in short order. I need to research it, but if it really does what it says it does, I'm getting one.
