For you reading pleasure. I have attached a "Driver Instruction Manual" in which I discovered out on the web.

Yes there was. I didn't go on the cruise, I left the parking lot soon after the cruise started. They were leaving Yohan site and going to go downtown. They had just made a left turn and every one was trying to get into the right lane to get on the tollroad. Someone checked up and there was a 3 car, nose to tail, accident. All cars were members.

None were totalled. One of the three was just some bumper scratches.

i just got 22mpg on my last tank of gas .... holy WOW!!

what did i change:

I used 89 octane
Did 80% highway driving
BUT ... the biggest change ----- I only used the vents in the face postion. No floor/defrost position allowed.

I was getting 15-18mpg before with the same gas. Could this really be the solution?

that is very possible, with having the AC compressor running will definitly affect your mileage

I try to make sure that that is the way I drive with them as much as possible. I still only get 13 mpg.

RXEIGHTR is my witness. I was very civil when I tried to extort money from you on Saturday.

edit: changed spelling. Would be nice if I could spell "extort", wouldn't it?

I, too, was immensely impressed with the sophistication and cordiality in which you conducted your extortion. By the by, Red Devil, I sent you my dues this morning. Five hundred dollars per month seems very reasonable indeed.
