Man... my 50+ year old 2.25L 4-cylinder gets between 15 & 18mpg.

Fuel injection project is in the works hoping 15+ is possible if not then it will be getting a 5 speed transmission.

Grover's engine doesn't have any of the more modern engine features. Still has a mechanical fuel pump (with glass bowl), a dizzy with points and rotor and an early 1960's Zenith carb. Compression could be better - it really needs to be rebored.

How much of that is tax?

So I converted it into dollars and us gallons to we won't misunderstanding anything.

For a given price of 6,25$/gal there is not less than 4,16$/gal federal tax of different sorts...
Some are fixed and some are fraction of the amount so it would be irritating to split it.

I prefer not to have any charged political discussion here, but it will happen. We do however draw the line at personal attacks and name-calling.
