ok I'll put it this way, because I drive more than her...I am filling up more, with 93 octane in like a 12 gallon tank 1 time a week while she fills up 1 or 2 times a month. Which means I'm filling up more than her in turn meaning I'm paying more for gas

heres what you do, go launch your car like 20 times in a row, burn the clutch, then you wont beable to boost even if you want to! hence, gas mileage increase!

actually what you should do is...since your mom doesnt drive much, teach her how to drive the evo (w/o boosting it) trade in the expedition for the hyundai, you drive the hyundai on weekdays, then evo on weekends!

problem solved! Then move out of the house!

2 things....
1. Mom had a car wreck before I was born and she broke like 80% of the bones in her body (drunk driver t-boned her) so she doesn't drive anything smaller than a tank lol

2. I don't live at home, I'm in college

Pay for your own gas. One tank a week thats $50. Go shine shoes or something. Sell your finished homework to slackers. Charge people for rides.
What should you do? Find a way to get $50 per week

Your decision with your parents would have a lot more weight if you paid for everything yourself. I understand your are a college student and that's great but it is still possible to be a full-time student and have a job to pay for your car and other expenses. Think about it this way, would this even be an issue if you were the one paying for everything? I think not.

ok well since I'm a student/athlete I have no time for a job. Much less any free time. My day begins and ends with school and football.

Why are they trading in your car? Unless they pay for it do what you want with it.

I understand that! what about after the fb season is over? Are your parents looking to get money back, im guessin when you trade your car is the dealer will have to cut you a check because the evo has gotta be worth way more than the hyundai.

if you can save the evo until fb is over than get some money comin in that would be best.
