Avg MPG, 1980 and Today...a whopping 7% increase!!
Stumpy replied to stoneycase's topic in Speakers Corner
Good point actually - in the UK all the flash twats drive Range rovers, BMW X5's, shit like that, when the closest they go to off road is the gravel drive to the golf course, whereas the people who need the capability tend to drive Defender 110's or Toyota Hilux. No joke, i have even seen people clean their car on the inside but not the outside because they want it to have that authentic "I drive around in muddy bogs" look. Someone actually once told me about spray on mud but i haven't confirmed that yet. Edited : Yes i have http://www.sprayonmud.com/index.html Never try to eat more than you can lift -
You CAN buy treks on the Khao San road, but just do your research with some of the travellers staying there. Its a real hole and you can be in danger of being ripped off. It was my least favourite place in a year and a half travelling. Soon as i got out of BK however i was happy! (You can actually buy all sorts of stuff on that road, however some involve being executed in a Thai prison and others involve nasty visits to the Clap Clinic.) NOTE - I DO NOT KNOW THIS FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE!!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift

http://www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/search/fuelConSearchResults.asp Go Here. I looked at the 41-50 mpg bracket for example, and found 88 pages of cars (These are NEW cars on the market in the UK right now) There were 21 pages between 51-60 11 Pages between 61-70. Granted, as you go up the MPG scale, it tends to move towards the town car/ very small engined stuff, but they still go round corners better than most US cars. The majority of people in the US driving F150's, other big trucks, big V8's etc etc etc, DO NOT NEED THEM - its purely a vanity purchase and "yeah i really care about the environment but i will drive what the f*** i like." Its not just you - I get annoyed at the numbers of 4WD chelsea tractors here - same syndrome. For those who do need the big trucks - people hauling 5th wheels, farmers, tradesmen, Offroad hobbyists etc, fine, fill yer boots man! Never try to eat more than you can lift -

Thats crap - it just gives the "Bigger must be better" crew a crutch to justify the 6 litre trucks and stuff. Drive anything european or japanese and half decent and you will double your mpg, and have better handling and performance. (Only problem being some of the manufacturers change the engines in their cars to meet american taste) Never try to eat more than you can lift -

On a similar note, this one came up a while back but i still like it (its ships rather than planes but hey!) This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision. Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision. Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course. Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course. Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call. Never try to eat more than you can lift

Nah - bendy roads is why the europeans build cars that handle and the US don't In full agreement on the stopsigns though. I defer to the guy with the bumper sticker "guns don't kill people, I do" and "Keep honkin, I'm reloading" Never try to eat more than you can lift
