    Ah yes the ol' breakdown lane. You gotta go into that thing with a pro-wrestler mindset. Aggressive, constantly scanning, and ready for battle.
    Haven't noticed any slowdown...at all. Its Gladiator mode around here and up in the Boston area as always.

    Yes, it's definitely that way here, but the slowest I've seen is people driving sports cars, rather than SUV's.

    It's fine by me as I can set my DRCC, follow them and get great gas mileage too, and still have the excuse that they're in my way. :cool:

    off topic.. but while reading about gas prices in this thread it occured to me that I dont know what gas prices in my area are. I havent seen a gas pump up close in 3 weeks and I dont bother looking at the big price signs when I drive by.

    Pre-Prius I always knew how much a gallon was.

    I'm willing to bet that people who drive around in suvs,trucks, and cars that get <20mpg think the faster they get there the more gas they saved.
