You are right on with that.
Often the trouble with people who want to go like hell but think they may need to drive slower to save gas is, they don't save gas by driving slower.
Simple reason.
Lets say Joe Nascar Jr thinks he will try to get better milage by driving 55 instead of 75.
But he is so POed at going so slow he comes close to laying rubber at most startups. If he comes up behind someone going slower, Joe will hit the passing gear and keep that thing sucking gas until well pass the old poker.
Then Joe checks his miles per gallon. Not hardly any better than before. Maybe not any. |
