Maybe I can get a big fat research grant from Uncle Sam to see if I can convert our TC's to Hydrogen Fuel LOL ! Get five mil in grants, spend one mil researching...then after a year say...sorry, couldn't make it work...and keep four mil !!!

When the gas prices started going up, I turned my timing back to 8* and turned the boost down. There's no way I'm gonna pay for premium right now! [Image: mad.gif]

Sunoco 93 is $1.73 here in Harrisburg, PA (just around the corner from Carlisle). The bright side is my 88 TC gets better mileage than any of the others in our stable. Don't let the cost of gas scare you away from Carlisle, it's something we only get to do once a year.

Guys.....In South Jersey, its $1.51 a gallon for 87.....$1.68 for 92.....just a little cheaper here...but we pay a lot more for car insurance than the rest of you folks around the country. It's gonna get worse before it gets better on account of the pending invasion of Iraq.....

And that's one thing about Nova Scotia that I DON'T miss. [Image: wink.gif] That and no jobs to pay for the fuel.

About a year ago alcohol was about $2.00 a gallon if ya bought 12, 55 gallon drums. Im sure you could adjust the timing and boost and make these motors scream with alcohol. Not that it does ya any good in 2 feet of snow here in pa.
