I wouldn't put this thread on my resume.

pinata just straight going to work on people.

Nothing tards up a thread like a debate on language or grammar.

No. Keeping a steady speed when driving is more fuel-efficient than accelerating and decelerating.

It's because if you keep the button where the dealer put it, he always can reach it.

Dukemagic, he knows! That's why it shouldn't piss him off. He posted here because it still does.

Internet trolls.

It's a "hypermiling" technique called "pulse and glide".
edit: I mean, I have no idea if it would be more efficient for the charter bus at highway speeds and I doubt that's what the bus driver was trying to do, but it is a real technique that can work when applied properly. I'm pretty sure this would piss me off if I ever got stuck behind someone doing this, but that hasn't happened yet.
Yeah, I know it shouldn't piss him off, but his post made me think he didn't realize that you sometimes did get extra stuff; all he mentioned were supply issues.

Good edits. I'm fine with people doing this approaching stop signs and red lights where it's convenient. Not on the @!#$ing freeway where they would be actively causing traffic causing brake lights to go off. All so they can save a buck in their hybrid while simultaneously screwing the people behind them with mpg, a potential accident, and shaving minutes off everyone's life.

From the same article...

Yes, that's listed in the "Basic techniques" section. Generally applicable, and good results can be expected from that. What I posted, the "Pulse and Glide", is in the "Advanced techniques" section further down the page, and those techniques act as modifiers to the general rules, and don't apply broadly. So it's not like you've caught me in some contradiction that you seem to think you have.

Under the right circumstances, you can be more efficient speeding up and slowing down. And that's all I was saying, somewhat snarkily, in response to your statement, "No. Keeping a steady speed when driving is more fuel-efficient than accelerating and decelerating." I mean, Johnny El was pretty clearly referencing that technique and so he wasn't wrong.

I don't use that technique, I don't endorse that technique, but good to know all the same!

So yeah I agree wholeheartedly with this quote:

It really bugs me when people try to express an opinion through a poll. Talk about a BS thread.

When there is one diesel pump at a gas station. And a little civic or something like it is taking it up

But if a truck is there it's all good. Longer waits are fun.

I despise the idiot at the poker table with me who insist on trying to guess my hand everytime I win a pot.

This morning while walking my dogs I was on the stretch of sidewalk across the street from the local high school. Kind of a wet, rainy morning and still dark, just after 6 a.m.

A small SUV comes to a stop just ahead of us and someone starts to get out of the passenger side. Then a plastic drink glass with lid/straw falls out. The young girl that got out with her backpack and other school crap closes the door, turns around, and marches off. The SUV drives off.

WTF is up with these people?

I wasn't pissed off enough to say anything or to pick up her trash though.

Cool galaxy s2 bro

Is this a joke or are you just kinda slow??

Thanks bro.

Kinda slow, but I'd still rather have a tdi jetta fill up quickly than a truck.

The term "life hack"

Holy ****, yes this.

Now you are beyond slow and into '******' territory.

...well, why?

I'm going to guess because a Jetta or Civic does not take diesel?

Maybe the car takes gas but it is at the only pump that also has diesel so there is no reason for it to be there as opposed to another pump with gas only. Maybe. Not sure why not intuiting that makes you a ****** though so maybe not.
