but it makes up for it by making TONS OF MPG's :-) You usually can not have both. Its either power or its mpg. adding one almost always reduces the other. the only universal exception is electric motors. so your car is super powerful in the MPG department :-) Edited by nerys, Jun 22 2010, 09:09 PM.

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_G_engine "This engine has a non-interference valvetrain design." Reference: "Silniki Suzuki". [url][u]http://daniels.lumena.com/suzuki/Engine.htm[/u][/url]. Retrieved April 14, 2006. For the belt replacement... Timing Belt Replacement. So I'm doing 35 mph in 3rd gear leaving town and this Audi comes up behind me doing at least 40. I know where the 65 mph zone is and floor my Geo. I pull away from the Audi who speeds up but I get to 70 quicker. I say to the wife that 'wasting some gas will be worth keeping the Audi behind me,' and then it turns off into some exclusive neighborhood. I get 55 mpg.
