    Pigpen's 19 gallons lasts for a long damn time. I dont have a fuel gauge but I think he only goes through ~1/2 a tank in a weekend of wheelin. He is a diesel though, so he probably gets mo betta trail (and street) mileage than you gas homos.

    If 19 gallons will supply a scout motor all weekend, I think it'll be fine for most anything. I burn a lot less gas idling around offroad than I do blowing down the highway.

    Stumble in to the liquor store
    With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
    I know just what I'm lookin for
    Thunderbird will do just fine.
