Rep Power: 323 You know what's funny? In his sig and on here, he claims that he gets 50+ mpg. But yet when he posts his stats, he never gets better then 43/44 mpg. I am officially raising the flag. That's gotta be a first, he just got owned by himself.

Rep Power: 259 "you can check out my engine i'm sure you'd love to find the evidence that supports your facts but unfortnately I have no one that reliable to look at my car. My battery is starting to show its age but how long do you guys make your batteries last anyways? isn't 48 months the usual length to replace one?"
You know what, a battery should last longer than 4 years, dumbass. Your lack of mechanical savvy is making you look like a douche bag. My suggestion is quit while you are ahead before you embarrass yourself further. I would also like to show some sympathy to your car because its obvious you are fvcking it up and to stupid to realize it. I suggest you go get yourself a Chevette, continue driving like a grandma and buy another piece o' **** after that one breaks. It would probably be cheaper than fixing your hybrid.

Rep Power: 258 Yeah I got like 38+ with out even really trying. I used the cruise control moderately, and have not had an oil change in almost 9k miles. I revved it ocassionally. One of the first times i actually calculated mpg with accuracy, and it was just by chance. My friend got me some gas and told me how much he put in and I just happened to have the od set right.
I also have 15 inch 11lb rims, so that might help some, everything else is stock.

Rep Power: 259 You know, we have to also look at his posts with an openmind, (i am guilty of not doing this) he is entitled to his opinion and honestly if he is wrong I am sure he will be the first to throw his foot in his mouth.......maybe if his head doesn't inflate anymore. We could end up having the last laugh when he breaks his car and gets the bill from Honda. He may get OWNED!!!

Rep Power: 323 This is what I imagine that philmcneal looks like driving his car, thinking about all the gas he's saving and how he's singlehandedly saving the planet.

Rep Power: 258 I thought he had both, but I do not know. It is hard to be on the same page with this guy. I could barely even have a discussion with him, he was all over the place.

Rep Power: 323 Trying to convert? WTF! God damnit, I hate it when people press their agendas upon other people, especially when it's one as douchebagtastic as this one. You better switch 7thgencivic from Doubtful to No way in hell, because we're not stupid enough to buy into your bullshit. Or the bullshit of those other people who read one artcile that validates what they think and then go around quoting it like it's the gospel. Like I have said before, the article at the police site does NOT advocate running your tires more then the manufacturer reccomends on the sidewall, yet your first post in here said "I'm going to pump it 10 pounds over the max sidewall pressure LOLZ OMG I RULE"
To further my point, this is just ****ing classic:
Hmm, maybe that's from there being TOO MUCH DAMN PRESSURE IN THE TIRES! Let's think about this logically for a moment. What happens when you blow up a baloon too much? It pops. Now think about your tires. Putting in more pressure then the tire can handle, is causing it to expand more then it was designed to. Hmm, cause of cracks?
And then there's your profile on clean mpg.com...Wow

Rep Power: 788 haha! wow. i'm done. but before i go i'll make the first useful contribution. You want more gas mileage, get something that actually works instead of endangering yourself and other drivers.
hvs-eco for 4-10% increased mileage.

Rep Power: 788 no its actually a real product. i have the GT version and it does really do what it claims, more mpg, better charging system, etc. its a series of hi power capacitors that smoothens voltage flow through the car.

Rep Power: 323 Hmm...Intriguing solution. Better then running red lights and stop signs like philmcneal does just to conserve momentum. And better then running 60 psi in the tires. That's a solution that I might actually consider.
