That myth buster's episode in my opinion was crap. You don't use two separate vehicles for this as you can't measure the difference in the infinite number of variables affecting performance of the engine, etc. There was no baseline. A more accurate test (or should I say an accurate test) would have used the same vehicle for both tests. I stopped watching the show after this test in disgust.

+1 The pump they used to remove fuel from the tanks of the vehicles was also inaccurate... They shoved a hose into the fuel filler openings of both vehicles. How could they be sure the hose touched the bottom of the tank? How can they be sure they removed all the fuel? I like the fuel economy test they used in the golfball dented car test. They had a separate tank they put in the trunk of the car and they weighed it with a scale after each test run. ------------------------- Times to beat: Horner Rd to/from Pentagon: 12 mins Without Slugs - 17 mins With slugs Dale City exit to/from 3rd St Tunnel, D.C. 18 mins (No slugs - Holiday) |

If its "Blastin" then I might ask the driver if he/she would mind turning it down some. If they don't - I'll be miserable for 30 minutes and then on my way but be sure I took note and won't ride with them again. Its a free system and I am not going to let the little things rain on my parade [:D] |

People are comfortable at different temperatures. I'm from a more northern part of the country and personnally like it cold. At times I have had the AC going and in a t-shirt perfectly comfortable while my riders were bundled up and noticably cold to the point I made the adjustment to make them more comfortable. I have no problem with people asking me to about the temp, radio, etc. I'm happy to adjust but may not always notice someones discomfort. So, my opinon-ask. Just be courteous when doing so please and for heavens sake dont end the ride upset over something if you didnt inquire.
