- install an LS3 or some kind of equivalent and get 30 mpg
- CNG conversion, or some other alternative fuel
- consider a second car for fuel efficiency
well I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks outside the box. as for the D'max, it has already been done, & the cost factor is astronomical. as for the LS motor, I think you would be very hard pressed to 30 mpg with that body style car. we own a C5 & that does get over 30 mpg highway, but it has excellent aerodynamics. if & when I get my swamp buggy running I plan on running propane.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
