HAULN-SS Wrote:500 miles is barely more than a tank of gas - i'm talking about over 900 - 1500 miles. I assume the focus probably gets 400 miles out of a tank? so call it 3 tanks of gas. one quart of oil. I'm pretty sure i'd live with that before I took it to the shop to get a rear main fixed or something
Goddammit, stop being retarded! You were talking about Rob's car. Rob drives an SVT focus, not a diesel with a 30 gallon tank.

13.2 gallons x 21 mpg city (and nova is all city driving) = 277 miles, assuming you use the *whole* tank.
2-3 tanks = 500-750 miles.
And if you are leaking that much out of your rear main, then you fry your clutch disc. Have fun with that.
