    No, definitely the US. A bunch of egotistical morons.

    The lesson from the Carter experiment is simple: Americans pay attention to money, period. Raise the cost of petrol to $8 a gallon and watch what happens.

    ^^ Heritage Foundation ? For your sake I hope you are joking. That propaganda rag is the mirror image of Pravda.

    If you'd like to refute my reference, you're welcome to, but I'd expect a bit more than that.

    I'll no more waste my time reading that garbage, than I would waste my time to read Pravda

    Well, the problem with that, is regardless of whether you like the source or not, the figures have to speak for themselves. You can't falsify a claim by it's source alone.

    Here a youtube video by CleanMPG's Wayne Gerdes, instructing hypermiling technique. I don't profess to know the first thing about it, but he advocates using Neutral several times in the course of the drive. FWIW, I just leave it in Drive, all the time.



    (He actually drives me a little nuts with his instruction technique, but hey...)

    Very true. Feel free to read Pravda for a couple hours a day and refute the nonsense.

    I'm sure even Pravda and the National Inquirer occasionally got some facts right.
