Good morning, Wayne.
 JP>  Also, I never ever floor the pedal, I never go over 62 mph,
 JP> this is at 2000 rpm in Overdrive. Runs good and fine at that setting
 JP> and I get 33m/g imp, that would be 26.4 to your small gallon. See ?

        And we do the same in the wife's Continental. That engine is at
        less than 2000 at 62 mph. We also get more miles/gallon as the
        windage is quite reduced too from the boxy Explorer.

 WC> Hmm, that's within 1 MPH of my old Chevy Impala 283 8 cylinder.

        Big engines are like that.

 WC> You've a gentle touch on the accellerator.
 
        I got this habit ehrn flying the first generation jets. They
        were not "governed" as they are now, the pilot was the governor.

 JP> My SUV is an Explorer Sport, the 2-door model and I have kept the
" bad "
 JP> tyres.

        I forgot their name last time, they are Firestone Wilderness AT.

 WC> Did you hear GM's Cadillac division is introducing a 16 cylinder
 WC> 1,000 H.P. model? I've not confirmed this though the post
 WC> did include a URL to verify. Who needs a 1,000 H.P. passenger vehicle?

        Not me ! LOL !
