Totally accidental! LOL Though, I did want to take the heat off LTO Dave, since this is a rant about bad drivers, not any specific individuals here . . . ***cough***cough *** slapshot ***cough***cough*** :mrgreen: :lol: Just teasing! :mrgreen:

Because it takes less time to tell your tool helper (son or daughter) to grab a quarter, half or three quarter than it does to grab a six point three five o mm, or a nine point five two five mm. The 12.7 is easy though :lol:

I don't think LTO is going slow, but rather 'enjoying the ride' more? A couple of months ago in a rather hard exercise in futility, I made myself drive at or just slightly below the posted speed limits for an entire week. It was a two sided evalutation really. I wanted to see the difference in my commuter car fuel mileage and to see if I could de-stress more by driving more 'normal' speeds. I usually drive 80 on the interstate, and 5-8 over on 2 lane roads. Always extra cautious in neighborhoods though. It was really hard to do especially on the interstate. Just by slowing down to 68-70 mph, I was damn near a rolling roadblock even in the right lane. That really is pathetic if you think about it. Why in the hell are most of us in such a huge hurry? That said, it was probably as stressful as when driving 80 and dealing with the usual left lane drivers. The bonus though was in the fuel mileage increase. Went from 28 to 33 mpg.

Is that because your driving an older kangaroo that doesn't run as well as it did a few years ago?
