Well lets see;
1st quote and your response
Since you prefer to not believe something I say, my response is to assign no relevance to anything you say-it levels the playing field.
2nd quote and your comment
I can only assume you have some intent with your apparent attitude about my figures.
I have the reciepts with the mileage written on them and keep a mental tally on the total. What you could not know in your assumed higher mileage is the factoring of the distance per tank at the reported mileage (varies from 250-414 miles).
I appreciate the compliment on my performance relative to others. Frankly I didn't realize it was that good, or have any special desire to achieve any recgnition.
If you think it's such a big deal, maybe I will get around to it. Presently I have more significant priorities.
My efforts at recognition are related to my engine and powertrain patents and the rewards, whether you believe it or not, which will be amost incalculable.
I see this planet as being twice as efficient as we are now, in the span of one generation.
If my contributions are a part of that solution and that results in acclaim, personally I would prefer to remain as anonymous as the Johnson family managed to do for a long time.
If those efforts prove to provide financial reward, that would be nice, certainly a lot better than what a lot of my friends think could happen when large corporate entities may not appreciate my efforts.
The rest of your post is a little more civilized.
Today I increased the pressure in my tires to 38 psi, I filled them about a month ago at 36, they had dropped 2 psi each.
I can feel the difference. I dont need more information than the coasting improvement could get me to 60 MPG.
I really didn't want to start a gas log before a few things have happened.
Hasn't been aligned and rear upper right control arm was pulled in by the bent frame. Its probably a couple degrees negative camber, but there are no other symptoms, tracks perfect.
I would like to get it painted, might happen this week, then I can polish and wax it until the spoap and water run off.
Can still hear some brake drag from sitting for over a decade, a little slower starting, havent even looked at the plugs, think they are due.
Blah Blah Blah.
The wife told me she threw away some of the first gas reciepts, so I can only go back about a month, but the ones before that were all over 50 including the first two tanks when there was 3 gallons of god only knows how old gas in the tank.
I drove it a few hundred miles before I straightened the big dent out in the bottom of the tank using compressed air.
Also, the last three weeks I have been suffering through bone graft surgery with a surgeon who prescribed a pain medication Vicodin, which is totally ineffective for me and I was told not to take my Arthritis strength BC to boot. Two weeks later I went back to my dentist and he gave me percocet which takes a single pill a day for relief though the doasge could be as high as 2 tablets every 6 hours.
Frankly Monroe the same comment Rhett made to Scarlet applies her just the same, especially considering your unwarranted assumptions concerning my credibility.
I don't give a damn.
regards
gary
