Hello all,
just my two cents,
Back in 1982 I bought a brand new Chevy chevette with an Isuzu diesel in
it. At that time diesel was less expensive here in America than
gasoline. I also had a couple of brothers-in-law that worked on oil rigs
so occasionally I could get diesel for free. woohoo. But it wasn't long
before the prices changed and diesel became more expensive than gas but
this didn't bother me a whole lot since I managed to get better than 50
and quite often 58 miles to the gallon and this was back in 1982.
Anyway, the rest of the car was crap so when it fell apart I gave it to
a friend who wanted the engine which is probably still in use today. Too
bad GM couldn't put together
a decent vehicle to work with a good engine.
