Put a Athlon Thunderbird next to a Ford Thunderbird and see who would win the quarter mile. My moneys on the AMD, it can use its amazing heat-o-ray to overheat and meltdown the Ford then wait for the wind to push it the quarter mile

Well, the AMD Mustang would have beat the AMD T-bird too. BTW, I own an overheated T-bird (the car). Like the AMD the core is shot (this one cracked). Anyone got a late-80's 5.0 H.O. engine for me?

You Cant have the engine in my Ford, for two reasons...
the first is, I use it, and the second is, I live in Australia.
So I doubt it would even fit :)

I been busy with games mostly (hehe) and school just got back in the mood to post so naturally i came to the other forum. Strangely after trying to catch up with the CPU forum, I have found there is more BS in the "CPU" forum than in the "Other" Forum, hehe made me laugh.

I think my gas milage is probably one of the worst ever. It takes 2 full tanks of gas, which is like $80 over here in Canada, to drive from Leamington to London and back. (about 100km)

Please tell me that your Cobra doesn't have a 46 gallon (174 liter) gas tank like the original Cobras. That would be 0.675 miles/gallon (348liters/100km)!

The 2000 Corvette gets 27mpg with a 345hp low-tech pushrod engine. Compare that with all those European V-12s' fuel economy.

Gas = Gasoline (C8H18)
LPG = Liquid Propane Gas (C3H5)
It's been a while since my last chemistry class, but I think those chemical symbols are correct.

Petrol is such a wacky British word. I love British words, they're so funny. I'm typing this while speaking in a British accent. I think I'll go home and watch a <i>Monty Python</i> movie and a re-run or two of <i>Scrapheap Challenge</i>.

OK lets try this again. British dudes came over here and made america, BEFORE GASOLINE. Then the American's (which includes all of NA), made the automobile which used GASOLINE (that's what they called it), and so the British people came over and took them back and for some unknown reason called it Petrol. If you had a dictionary from early 1800s you would not find gasoline or petrol in it.

Also we had the hood for our car first, then the british used it and called it a bonnet.

If you were FUGGER or Meltdown I would put a serious flame in here for being so stupid, but since I like you i will not flame.

Quote :

But then why di people often call them 'Gas'?
Isn't gas and LPG are the same?


When someone says <i>gas</i> in reference to gasoline they are using its shortened name (gas - <b>gas</b>oline, get it). Ever notice that petrol is a shortened name for petroleum?

Gas(air, methane, propane, etc...) and gas(gasoline) are called <i>homonyms</i>-Two words that sound and are spelled alike, but have differend meanings.

I will follow Grizely's good example and not flame you for being a kid and asking stupid questions.
