| I am flattered my name was in fact used when it was thought this was a ruse.
Man I'm over the F#@%^' moon.
Its a pity I didn't get onto this thread earlier as Ive been weighting for a post like this.
I have in fact found that since I have landed a desk job my Scoot and other vehicles have mysteriously been getting proportionally slower in acceleration tho cruising speeds remain the same more or less. The braking distances seem to have increased, while the right hand side of the car when I drive it,seems to be listing somewhat.
So JJJJJJJJ.......J what you ask for is as irrelevant as weighting up the alternatives, eg how much fuel is in the tank, how much fuel is in your stomach and what luggage mass is involved. If the luggage is in the airflow it will increase your fuel consumption drastically.
So, JJJJ........J you must consider in all cases the co-effienct of Drag.. This being the major contributor apart from a very springy right hand to your MPG.
