Too bad the chevy cars we are getting here are the overpriced crap ones. Much better options on import.

If I feel the need for a Chevy engine at the mo I'll pop down to Vauxhall and buy a Monaro Grin

My vette gets 28mpg highway and 25city (my observations, not the manufacturer's). Far from 0.1!

Because of the cost of fuel I hardly ever drive it, it uses premium...

Our US exchange pilot came in chuckling the other day, telling us how back home people were paying about $2/gallon, and getting upset about it...

Over here at the mo we're paying around £0.80 to £0.85/litre ($1.50/litre), so about $5.90 per gallon...

I understand that pain, my '69 Camaro needs premium too.  I hardly drive it anyway, but the gas prices do affect the amount of mileage I put on it.

I didn't realise Daewoo was still in business. Shows how much I know about cars. They had a big headquarters in my home town but that was closed down some time ago. http://www.nortonrose.com/news/viewrelease.asp?pressid=283

Used to see a lot of Daewoo cars around here at one time. That figures cos they were cheap. Problem was the resale value & unless you replaced it with one of the same make you would lose out. I don't remember seeing one recently. Wonder where they all went? Roll Eyes.

PS. It's pronounced Die-oo if anyone's interested. Wink
