"Sways every once in a while..."

Its obviously wind. Happens all the time on the highway and the funny thing is you can't see it.

I hate it when I'm coming home from school and I'm on the expressway with strong gusts of winds. It makes my car sway like a ****. Damn light civics!

wall n muh 71 longtruk it dunt move atall.. even when i druve it thru the tornitto last month that didnt move at all.

but seriuosly... you should feel it on a motorcycle, passing a truck oncoming will cause you to change lanes if you dont lean into it.

If its a seriuos problem and it is "swaying" you should give us probably alot more details so we might address the problem instead of saying: Why do i have to put gas in my car? and then expect a answer.

You think it sucks in cars and trucks then hop on a crotch rocket a deal with a strong crosswind.
