Born Ottawa 1952

Rarely get up Hwy7 any more

heck my old 5.4's almost that good, especially at 60 M.P.H.Didn'e really think anyone drove 60 anymore, I know if I do I get run over. A friend of mine went thru canada on way to Alaska last summer with an older Dodge class B. Sain id Canada he got 2-3 more MPG., that the gas must be better. I said no, they sell Imperial gals.
Also just a tip. In rolling hills you will get better mileage without cruise. Cruise will hold you back going down hill. Better to let it roll.

 

I tried to drive in the right lane once and got run over by people doing 80 exiting and rolling on ramp.

Left lane is the safest place to be on a congested urban six to eight lane cluster****.

Out in the country I will move to the right and relax.

Oh, and your friend could be right. Once you cross the border going north everything is downhill to the Arctic Sea. Just put her in coast.

That's the truth. I never noticed in my little car. I'd always be in the far left lane anyways. But now I'm trying to go the speed limit for good mpgs and it's terrible over on the right side of the interstate haha. We have some 4-5 lane interstates here (certainly nothing compared to a lot of other cities).

 

Makes sense letting it roll downhill instead of keeping on cruise but gotta watch...I got a speeding ticket doing that once

 

I'm having a problem on this thread. Over the last week or so, I've been getting an increasing number of duplicate messages on replies to queries on this thread. Right now, I'm up to ten duplicate responses to anyone's reply on the thread. It's starting to overwhelm my inbox. I really enjoy the site, but if it continues, I'll have no option but to unsubscribe to the Forum. Before that happens, I'm looking for ideas to try. Anybody have an idea? Any help is appreciated.

 

Unsubscribe and then resubscribe under a different name, perhaps that should work?

 

Go to your list subscriptions and manage your notifications there, and if that fails, yes, swap your ID and start over.

 

I was real disappointed I only got 12.5 mpg on a 1200 mile trip..........

Then I remembered I was pulling 8,000 lbs of cargo.......

 

Funny thing for whatever its worth. My notification saying you posted told me you posted twice. Maybe something on your end?? Also, any notification I get says if I no longer want to follow this thread where to click to accomplish that.
