Oh if I pegged it I could beat that. My Honda is capable of 250% of my chosen quarter-impulse, Mr. Sulu.

But I’d hate myself for a month.

I get a bigger thrill of seeing over 50 mpg and it ain’t a hybrid!

Course, before reformulation of CA’s gas, my ‘92 Civic VX would average 60.
In summer, 54 (90%) was the hard limit, providing evidence that the state-mandated fuel had 10% trash atoms in it like oxygen and nitrogen.
If I pegged my Challenger I could go to jail...

I drive for fuel economy/range. What Hunter S. did somewhere around Barstow (with a 9mpg car, I’m not dinging the drugs) is just morally wrong.

I always enjoyed wishing my professional acquaintances a “happy ether”

Coldest I've seen is 18F at night with an artic front...put primarily our cold tremp during winter 28 to 39F during the night, upper 40's during the day.....that if a hard cold front comes in, other than that....it will stay in the 40's most of the time. I've seen snow down here 3 times, ice storms maybe 4 times and that's about it.....

pretty much....think I don't change into jeans until late Jan early Feb......that usually when an artic front hits for us down here.......I remember one time I was fishing near Brownsville, nice mid 70's good gulf wind......came back up to where I'm at....freaking high 40's......
I wore jeans and shoes this morning, probably change into flops and shorts this afternoon. Last 80's day for awhile today, 60's tomorrow forward.
