	ANATOMY OF A TOP FUELER
		A Top Fuel chassis -- which usually has a wheelbase of between 285 and 300 inches -- is fabricated from 300 feet of 4130 chromoly tubing and costs between $30,000 and $40,000.
		Top Fuel dragsters must weigh a minimum of 2,025 pounds and may not have a wheelbase that measures more than 300 inches or fewer than 180 inches.
		Keeping a Top Fueler's 5,000 horsepower glued to the racing surface at more than 300 mph is no mean feat, and a driver's best friends are the huge rear wing and the front canard wings that keep the race car from becoming an airborne missile.

		Following an incident at a national event in 2004 in Madison, IL in which Top Fuel driver Darrell Russell was killed, the NHRA cut the fuel ratio to the present 85%.

	Top Fuel Efficient SUVs - ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine
		ith some analysts predicting that gas prices will approach the $4.00 per gallon mark this summer, current car shoppers are understandably obsessed with fuel mileage; yet better fuel economy often means less roominess and practicality.
		Such is the conundrum of real-world car buyers: who desperately want - and in many cases need - to save at the pump, but simply can't fit their families or cargo into a small car.
		In fact, just as many dinosaurs evolved to become more "bird-like," many SUVs are evolving into crossovers, hybrids and other offerings that sip fuel at the pump "like a bird" (at least compared to their gas-guzzling predecessors).
