My secret is to tow it behind my motorhome, mind you I get a whopping 10mpg with motorhome LOL.

I put it on a trailer behind my Cummins diesel. Gets way better mileage and accelerates faster too!  :P

Torn apart in my carport for 3-4 years - amazing reduction in fuel cost !

Poor little jeep only gets about 220 KM out of a tank of fuel. Nice tan plugs, new O2 sensor. Just the best a Kleenex box can manage
