Re: wow! 65MPG in the snow???
 

is it ok to post this here, since i put it in the ugly winter car post too? this is how it looked when i got to work today, shot through a window....junk kicked off the wheel wells, all the ice on the front end, and the snow covering the headlights.

If I managed 50 mpg in those conditions, I'd feel pretty good about it. Let us know if you continue to have such success.

The jealous and sceptical among us wonder if a wind was not helping out a bit ;)

Re: wow! 65MPG in the snow???
 

i don't blame you a bit for wondering about the wind. i have been watching the snow fall out my window all morning and it's coming straight down..... :)

One thing that would make good FE challenging - defroster use.

The A/C comes on to dry the air when the defroster is turned on. On the Insight, the A/C can be deactivated, but sometimes the A/C is necessary to clear the windows.

i haven't been using the defroster, plus i THINK i used the hack that someone posted at one time. i don't feel the AC drag the engine down when i turn it on, but i am just not sure. maybe the hack, which i kept trying, affected the rear window defrost, which comes on without my help. :confused:

I've noticed the driver's window fogs up much faster than the passenger window. Sometimes I'll crack the windown down to clear it.

It's probably my breathing that does it, so I might try wearing my gas mask to see if that helps - pictures and results will follow. :D

DF, just breathe as if you are swimming crawl.

I've had this urge to look like....http://www.spencerthelion.com/forums.../starwars2.gif

...and to have the power to mystically choke agressive drivers like this. :P

....after all he became a hybrid man ("He's more machine than man...")

I want to be a hybrid man!

I feel it!

I've been seeking more hybrid power and I can get more....from the Dark Side. :P
