Even P metric tires can be aired to 44psi(standard load) or 51psi(extra load) before any risk of over inflation caused blowouts will occure.Poor tires that result from lack of maintenance are the main reason for blowouts.

This.
Underinflation causes more blowouts than overinflation. In fact, ThunderbirdJunkie has never seen a blowout from overinflation.

The gas mileage *****:happy175:

With the 30.5cc full mod it averaged about 14mpg's,with the twin it will be about 7mpg's.New piston rings at 6 gallons,new pistons at 12 gallons,and complete overhaul at about 24 gallons(crank bearings,pistons,rings,and cylinder heads).

Just going to add my experience. For the past 4 years I've been getting the best gas mileage when I fill up at the Meijer by my house. Why? don't know. I get 15 in the winter and 16.5 in the summer. That's with duratracs, lifted and not driving like a complete ass, but get the ef out the way type of driving.

I don't drive much on the highway at all, but when I do my average goes up.

Ethanol is stupid. Its detrimental to any sort of forward progress.
