well i just got back my 240 today. My dad and i went to go pick it up. since we were a ways off from my his 4runner and my car i gave him a ride. what i heard next was not expected. He told me that i shouldnt sell the car bc i put so much money and effort into it in the last year and a half. And it was HIS idea to sell my car. He told me I HAD to sell it NO EXCUSE and no turning back. it was to pay for some of the z3 expenses . BUt my dad just paid off the z3 2 weeks ago. NOw he said i can keep the car if i can pay for both insurances. but since i cant pay for both car's insurances he said hell help me out bc he knows its hard getting a job nowadays, but in the summer i got to get another job. So it looks like my car might stay after all. Ill prob just use the s13 on weekends seeing that its such a gas guzzler,but it so much fun to drive it. And now since i am probably keeping the s13 ima go autox. i havent be4 bc of $ and bc i was afraid of messing up my only car. man i am so lucky and i thank god everyday :D

it doesnt guzzle gas if u shift at around 2500-3000 rpm's, the first week i had my car i drove it all the time, shifting at about 2700 all the time and 1/4 a tank of gas lasted me 1 week, then i found out i could do donuts

i am on the exact same level as you. i used to make gas last so long, and once i figured out how to go fast i was screwed. a full tank cant last me 5 days anymore. i guess thats the price you gotta pay..
