get ready for $4.00/gal

well, $5 in cali is $4 everywhere else anyway...

How high does it have to go before we start slowing down? I still see many Texans in their 4X4, V8 'cowboy cadillacs' doing 80-90 mph on highways in town (no cops in sight, ever). Where the frig are they going that requires so much speed, horsepower and mass in a vehicle!!!???!!!

yup

infact I think nothing goes farther to prove evolution then observing 80% of Texans

this whole "slowing down" concept is bull****.

maybe in general it will work.

but me, in my car, i don't even go into 6th gear driving normally until 80mph. below 80 in 6th there's 0 power because i'm too low in the rpm band, and thus, i need like 3/4 throttle to even accelerate to 80mph whereas in 5th gear, 60-80 requires 10% throttle at best.

I get FAR better milaege in 6th gear at 80-90 than i do in 5th gear at 50-60.



politicians need to learn more about cars and transmission gear ratios, aerodynamics, and so on.
