To Help the Economy you make the fuel kill your vehicle to make you
purchase another, Get your clunker off the road and buy into the NEW
vehicle. Just helps all of us. For a fun read try Agenda 21 or just
watch videos on it.
I just love my old VWs. I have 7 and want to keep them forever. I
just don't like my government dictating what I can and can not have
and trying to destroy my personal freedoms on what I can and can not
drive and just make life harder till I cave in.
I want to keep my Vanagon on the road as long as humanly possible. I
still think it is one of the most thought out and desirable vehicles
I have ever owned and will do what it takes to make it go.
Sorry I do not want to get the government into this OR the
ecomentalists wanting to hunt me down. I just think I should be able
to purchase fuel that would help my vehicle run without damaging the
internals. I do think some things that are changed are good, BUT
there is always a counter reaction and at times you just don't see it.
Having 1.5 to 2 Gallons of Fuel dryer in my tank per fill up is a bit
much. I know what I pay in groceries and Fuel and Taxes. I also know
what I live in Michigan and wet condensation and humidity that many
on this list have never experienced living in dry climates.
I hope everyone takes this with a grain of salt, Just don't take one
side of the story is all. There are ALWAYS 2 sides and the issue is
many times you only get 1, and getting it from only 1 Biased source
does not by any means mean your getting the truth.
Also Results in Arizona are much different then Ohio and even Brazil.
I have been to Brazil and the rain forest, It is nothing like Arizona
Or Michigan / Ohio.
All in good fun! Happy Holidays and Happy New year. Keeping the OLD
VW alive yet another year!!
