Tina was laid off today. She’ll be alright though because she’s too good to be jobless for long!
Dillon WINS!!! SWEEPING CHANGES TO COME! not really
Thanks to all of you who voted Dillon! It was a hard fought race, and despite the smear campaigns and dirty politics, the better candidate won out!!
Decreased Leadfoot Experiment UPDATE
With the rising gas prices, I decided to make an concerted effort to ease up on the pedal, especially during acceleration from a stopsign/light.
My in-town mpg is about 18mpg. When I first got my car, I was getting closer to 21. Of course there are other factors that can be involved such as low tire pressure, oil change, dirty air filter. I keep hearing "leadfoot" as a cause of lower miles per gallon.
Now, I’ve eased up from time to time, but I always revert back the next time I get in the car. Not this time, I am focused to lighten the foot each and every time I take off until this tank is empty.
I will report back my findings at the next fill up.
UPDATE!!!
Well, after a week long experiment, I filled up with gas today. The result? I dropped from 18 to 17 miles a gallon! Well, I guess I’m going back to drag racing up Bowen and swerving into old ladies in walkers again.
Seriously, I didn’t save gas, but I did realize how impatient of a driver I truly am.
