My 93 Fox..gas saver, etc..Sorry 4runner

Marc P · 10-13-2005, 06:17 PM

I bought my 93 Fox a few weeks ago to save on gas and wear and tear to my Runner. I have a 40 mile daily commute and 15-17mpg at $3.00 wasn't working. You can see my regular ride next to it.

So far I have changed the fluids, filters, hoses, waxed it, and added a tachometer cluster.

Great little car!! Gets about 32MPG

Awesome!
I really want a DD... Ive put 18,000mi on my car in 4-5months. I feel your pain! That thing looks like its in good condition though. and a coupe even! Good find. For some reason, the tip just cracks me up for some reason. It just looks so... idono... funny. Maybe its just the angles you took the pictures at. Either way, good find!

I love it--I drove 340 miles and just filled up with 10.5 gallons= 32.38MPG

18,000 miles in 4-5 months! Damn Austin where have you been taking that thing? Vegas and back every other weekend?

Ha, I wish...

Asheville->Savannah->Asheville at least 7 times, went to Miami for a weekend, Atlanta a couple times. Oh, and I have to drive to Charleston for service because the dealership in Savannah sucks so badly, I don't mind driving that far!

Its off to Atlanta for a night then savannah for the weekend and back to atl, then back to Asheville on Tuesday or Wednesday. Apparently I like to drive...

I used to think i liked to drive, until i flew down to Houston to drive back with my buddy..... He's a pilot, and trained down there for a little bit, and when he was done we drove from Houston to SLC (1,650 miles) in 16hrs and 37 minutes.... that included a little stop for dinner at Hooters of course-

but anyways, congrats on the fuel saver Marc..... I'm sure there will be more of us following your example-

I am having fun with this car..I forgot how much fun a 5 speed is in a go-cart.

The last 6 years have been automatics for me.
