You need one of those "I'm changing the environment - ask me how!" bumper stickers.

Uh...its a ****ing H3. I bet it gets no worse gas mileage than a ford explorer or my jeep cherokee. Its not like he's driving the Exxon Valdez.
...why do i even bother. you retards believe anything you're spoonfed.

You drive a Cherokee and defend an Exploder, and I'm the retard? I hope you & Mancil enjoy filling up with these gas prices .

I guess its a good thing I live 5miles from work. A tank of gas last me about 2 weeks.

Subie Forester (29 mpg).

Ahhhhhhahahaha! A Forester that get 29mpg? What sort of magic fuel do you use to get it that high?

Or maybe your driving is all highway?

Nah - I'm still not buying it.

I am thinking he is high on the fuel.

I despise when people lie about fuel mileage.

I have always gotten much better mileage on my cars than most people with similar cars. Stadard tranny + short shifting = better mileage. Shift out of firt before 2k, same for second then go straight to fifth. May have to floor the pedal but keep the revs low and you can accelerate with traffic and get great mileage.

You still aren't gonna get 29mpg with a Forester.

 

[MMike]

I get 28 mpg with my 1.8T Jetta....but that at an average speed of 85mph......(I commute against traffic)

 

[urbaindk]

Did you know that a "sticky monkey" is a type of flower?

 

[JRB]

and you'll need a new clutch 300% faster than you should.

 

[Westy]

Never driven one so I couldn't even guess. If I drive like a sissy I can get 75mpg on the motorcycle.

 

[SkaredShtles]

You won't if you're matching rev's..........

 

[Westy]

Nah, Had my GTI for 140K miles and the original clutch never showed any signs of wear. Only need to slip it when starting off.

A clutch gets tons of wear milking gears like that. I can't imagine it not slipping driving 25 - 30 in 5th.

edit - I babied my diesels like that, but there is a ton more low end torque.

a lot of asshats live for the hole shot, and their mileage probably sucks as a result. i just mosey along.

A clutch won't wear any more unless it is slipping. Now the rest of the engine may see more wear but full throttle at 1700 rpm isn't generating much power or torque.

Which makes the clutch slip. I think.

But Cherokees are cool. H3's...especially white ones, are the homo-gay.

So YOU'RE the one holding me up in traffic? I shake my fist at you in a menacing fashion!!

So you're the guy flailing about in his car knowing that when we are at the gas pumps together you will discretely shove your hands up your own ass, praying no one notices it was you???

 

[MMike]

uhhhh....

 

[Samson]

Which makes the clutch slip. I think.

Nope. A clutch slips when either the pedal is neither fully released nor depressed or if it is out of adjustment.
Shifting early will have no adverse effects on the clutch when compared to shifting "normally".

The EPA ratings for the (non-turbo) Forester are 23/30, so 29 is possible. The XT knocks it down to about 19/24, so 29 out of one of those goofy things is a bit hard to believe.

Anyway, I don't have a Monkey sticker to show anybody.

 

[Westy]

Which makes the clutch slip. I think.

A good clutch will not slip unless the pedal is pressed.

 

[JRB]

A good clutch will not slip unless the pedal is pressed.

Any clutch will wear, pedal or not. It is a friction point. I am not saying I am right about it wearing faster, but it seems like the clutch will give before tires or the flywheel will when you have too much torque for your speed. That's the point I am trying to make.

You drive a lesbian car, and you're going to knock my manly '93 Jeep with 180K, USEFUL 4 wheel drive and a half/krylon paintjob that I bought for $1k 2 years ago and has never broken down?

Nice..you lesbian.
