Over the years I've owned my current ride, I have observed that it is most fuel-efficient at 3500RPM, where 42MPG is easily attainable. I have also observed that, at 3000 RPM or less, the mileage on my vehicle drops to 35MPG or lower. My experience with my current vehicle is similar to several...

Hey, that I knew. What is missing in this report though is who among humans are to blame. See, NOT ALL HUMANS POLLUTE: some drive Stupid Unnecessary Vehicles while others ride bicycles. And how about those who --like me-- want to ride a bike, but find there's no safe place for it. It's a frightful...

I was ticketed for speeding 55mph on a street with 35mph limit. I'm thinking about contesting the ticket. First off, that was a major street with 40mph signs everywhere. I'm hoping to get an official doc. (presumably from gov.). But where should I do the search? Coming back to the ticket. ...

August 6, 2005 Prices Fuel a Rebellion Drivers Tired of Paying More for Premium Gasoline Switch to Regular By Margaret Webb Pressler Washington Post Staff Writer For some people, it's hitting the big five-oh that really hurts -- that is, dropping $50 on a tank of gas. For others, it's just...

Please define it. Is it driving in the left lane for no real purpose (ie, the person could be driving in the right lane without much trouble), or is it driving at a lawful, prudent speed in the left lane to pass or to prepare for a left turn (as oppossed to breaking the law like every other fool)?...

Saw a darling of this group doing his thing last night. Guy is driving the right lane, gets within about 1/2 second of another car in the right lane that he's catching, pops out into the left lane for a pass, then cuts the guy off with a return to the right lane that left about a 1/2 second of...
