A friend of mine broke his ankle years ago and it has never been right. The result is that his foot is not steady on the gas but rather goes in/out giving a somewhat jerky ride. It drives me crazy and his driving is not particularly economically oriented. BUT-
He is able to get very good mileage from some large cars/trucks. For some reason maybe this creates a (mini) 'Pulse and Glide' scenario?? Is this possible that this is the key to improved mileage??
