6mpg? must have run it pretty hard to get that

I havent got mine below 20, even the tank after I got my stack put in, and I had a really heavy foot the whole time, I got right at 21.

Hi, i saw where used trany oil to get where you needed to get,back about 30yrs ago i put a
4 cly. nissan diesel in a 74 vega and ran out of fuel and what i used was motor&gas mix for a
chain saw to get home,my sister thought it wasa good idea to put gas in it one day did not
run very well drained tank,put diesel ran for yrs. no problems,not a good idea but it works.
