WHO WANTS GAS 20% CHEAPER?

[agilis]

Great! There are a lot of people here who put no value on their time too.

Driving is pleasurable, not a waste of time. I suspect that most speeders waste time when the get to their sorry destination 3 minutes sooner, farting around, watching some plebian game, swilling beer.

Only a miserable fool passes on the right like that and then touches their brakes.

True, but I don't think that was a brake check. He pulled in front of the cop too close for safety so get stopped. I cannot imagine anyone passing then brake checking.

I flick on my lights, and the tail lights are mistaken for brake lights by some tailgating idiots.

Ok, why doesn't everyone leave their lights on Auto and always drive with lights on? Much safer.

I've never heard the term 'brake check'. If it means what I think it does, people who do it need a good beating.

Not a new term, but it is dangerous. I just slow down until they get the idea.

Never drive faster than 60 mph on the hiway. Stay in the right lane and save...

Maybe with your right turn signal on too?

No, why?

I move over and let them by. Easier on everyone's nerves and insurance premiums.

32mpg at 80mph... that's about twice as good as what I get.

I'm already over in the right lane.

It says I was going 75. It is twice as good as my old F-150 got. Whatever you get, your get a lot more at 55-60.

If you go 50 you will save even more

Really depends on your gearing, and how the car is programmed. CVT cars are surprisingly good on gas at a wide range of speeds. Original Kia Souls were horrible on gas at highway speed because it was geared for city driving.

Personally my time is often worth more than the minimal gas costs, so I set my cruise control for 80mph.

Most are willing to waste gas & money for speed, your call.

Thats true, mine is manual so I tend to think in that frame
