    That's a lot of compensating.

      See Here[^] Given the cost of fuel, this is an amazing saving over a 7 year life cycle.

          Everyone who starts from stationary and accelerates to 70mph drives at 45mph at some point. It doesn't say they drove all the way at 45, it says the average is 45.

            Nobody does. He wanted to break a record and chose his speed to get optimal efficiency. The car can go faster and still is efficient, but not enough to break any records.

            A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

                Nevermind, I jumped to the conclusion that he drove 45mph all along, which is BS.

                    Well I do run a 2.5L 16ft long 4x4. Might cost a bit more to run but then again servicing costs are nothing, repair costs are nothing and initial purchase price was cheap considering the vehicle you get for it.

                        The coal truck in the left lane struggling to pass the 44mph coal truck in the right lane on a 10* upslope. I really hate when this happens on the highway.
