Surely higher fuel costs come automatically if you buy something like a big
SUV?


You can get about 14.5 with a Lincoln Navigator. It has a 330 cu in
DOHC 32 valve 300 hp engine. A four cam truck who would have ever
thought it. The engine possibly looks cool, but it is so buried that
you can't even see it. Takes two hours to change the plugs. A flathead
takes two minutes. Book said to change them at 100 000 miles, but they
were still good.
