    used engine oil down the hatch?

    I would only consider it at very low ratios (say 2% max) and after good filtration such as described above by @2004LB7. A 1% ratio will easily consume all your used oil between 10k mile changes (this would eat 10 quarts at 40mpg). Think about it....motor oil is designed to lubricate, not burn...

    Trading in your VW TDI? What will be your next car

    Nice fix/score! My wife loves her Subaru (replaced the 2012 Touareg which is waiting to go back). We took it on a 2,000 trip two weeks ago and averaged 34mpg with it. And the AWD system is really good. Not quite like a Land Cruiser with locked diffs, but good! And even though it is a '17...

    I have averaged right at 5 miles per kWh in my 2015 Volt over the first 1,000 miles of ownership (it is a 2015 I purchased as a demo...first registered owner, so get the $7,500). No brag, just fact (for those old enough to remember Walter Brennan). I have burned 0.07 gallons of gas so far...
