Re: 1998 2.4 = interference engine?

I don't think mine was taken care of at all, but as I just said in my "head work?" thread, the car was too cheap to care.

I'd be supprised if I'm actually getting 2 MPG. Before I started building it up, I got 12 (yeah, lots better ) pretty consistently, so with all the heavy off-road stuff I don't see getting less than 8. I also had a 5 gallon gas can (almost empty) stolen from in front of my garage, which is why I was wondering if someone was borrowing some out of the tank. If some was taken, it was over the weekend, so next weekend I'm running 220v to the gas cap and sitting in the garage with my shotgun until I hear a yell (or BOOM!), then I'm beating the SOB with a tire iron (don't worry about the truck, it's essentially a chassis cab right now and the fuel tank is straped down on top of the frame rails, and the rear windows and windshield are already shattered... seeing it kindda makes ya wonder why anyone would think there's more than fumes in the tank!
