Engineer Explains Fastest 0 - 60mph Time Possible

It's ingenious how he calculates it! Less than 7 minutes viewing.

BTW, for the first time I dared to go over 500 miles (504.9) with one tank of gas with my 27 y/o Civic. Filled up 10.994 gallons on 11.9 capacity fuel tank.

With my last 3 months MPG average being 50.3, that means I could push 550 miles on one tank. That's getting into DraigFlag territory!

Interesting video, not that 0-60 bothers me much, some cars have a low 0-60 time but feel fast, and others are quick, but over refined so feel slow. I'm somewhere in the middle with mine, slow compared to a Sports car, but the torquey diesel pulls like a train, it's how fast a car feel that matters to most.

As for your range Doug, sorry, I might be on my best tank on this one, I've clocked about 400 miles so far and my fuel gauge has only just budged

I'm glad for you, Paul! (gawd damnit)

Yeah, i've had a load of cars with dodgy fuel gauges - needle not moving till 100, 200 miles have rolled by.

I thinks it's calibrated wrong, or the float is half way down the tank as it consumes roughly 5.5 gallons before it registers on the gauge.
