Drastic highway vs city mileage?

[Dirtman]

Well, no. I'm Canadian, and that doesn't describe me at all. HOWEVER, I *do* like poutine. If you don't know what that is, it's fries with gravy and melted cheese on top.

Love me some fries and gravy, i was just being jokingly stereotypical

I love you my northern brother.

The problem is idle speed is not very pollution friendly. Ever notice your idle doesn't drop instantly when you let off the gas and coast in a modern vehicle? They usually hold to 1,200 or more rpms because its actually "cleaner" to run this way. Running less than 1500-2000 at 65-70 would get the hippies all upset.

When did we start caring what hippies think?

Awww, thanks! Most of us Canadians are pretty friendly. You should come visit us sometime.

No, I don't know Joe from Toronto

How about Mike from Canmore?

I think it's funny how identically displaced engines from different manufacturers vary so drastically in performance. Years ago I drove a Dodge Shadow with a 3.0 V6, man, that thing was a rocket! Even with an automatic behind it. It was a pretty light car though. I'd be interested to drive a 3.0 powered Probe - might be pretty snappy, I had an '89 Probe with the 4 cylinder non turbo that would move right along.

I get between 14 and 20 with my 4 cylinder Ranger depending on the season and it has a 5 speed. I don't even want to know how an automatic would be in that truck... I'm guessing it'd be within spitting distance of my V10 in the winter.

Nope. But I've emailed back and forth with somebody named Bill from Saskatoon.

That guy Bill from Saskatoon seems like a pretty nice guy, Bill. Do you know him?

 

[saskbill]

Eh, might have seem him round.

I heard the cool kids hang out in the southeast...
