Re: The accelerator pedal and fuel consumption
Not to mention, 6 speeds. If it was my previous car, that would be a V6 and a 6-disc CD changer too.

...from the same guys who brought us pretty much one of the only songs where a clutch is a major part of the song.
Then again, George Strait did sing "lean on the gas and off the clutch" which is actually pretty good advice for the other thread that's had activity today.

Re: The accelerator pedal and fuel consumption
I drive my Forester like this as well - low revs and wide throttle. With a slow car you can do that without being a menace to society. If I tried that on the bike, I'd be in jail very quickly. Or dead.

Re: The accelerator pedal and fuel consumption
Do you mean keeping it in 6th most of the time, if above 1500 revs, and matting it to slowly accelerate? I ask because I recently traded Ms. Frizzle for Bubonic Freddie (the extra power wore of as a novelty and tickets are no fun) and am seeking to maximize the mileage. Freddie is tarred rated 29/41/33.AHTOXA wrote:I drive my Forester like this as well - low revs and wide throttle. With a slow car you can do that without being a menace to society.

Up to now I've used non-oxy 91, but am trying regular 87 to see if there will be much difference aside from the lower energy content.
