I was particularly amused by the "stay the F out of the left lane" comments. Well when I say amused, I mean slightly annoyed in the same way that knowing Simon Cowell is still in TV annoys me, or that David Cameron isn't just a bad dream I had after too much beer or that some South Korean has a worldwide no1 with a song which doesn't even make sense in South Korea.

Looks like a forum of dreamers. Probably one or two have "tuned" their cars, the rest are stock but probably have a desktop wallpaper of a tuned one which they look at and think "one day..." every time they look at it, just before their mum probably tells them dinner is ready. Performance to them is probably how loud the exhaust can be - which must be really annoying over a long journey ?

Last time I was in the states I drove at European speeds - you know Europe, the place where we don't need such powerful cars with big engines because we all drive slower ? I lost count of how many non-hippies in Legacies, SUVs, Lexus coupes etc. I passed on the right as they refused to move over - and that was in a hire-car grey Camry with furry seats and plastic wheels. Even Mrs A. got peed off with these mobile road blocks - this was in our pre-hypermiling days of course.

On a technical note if I may, what is the formula for revs per mile - this sounds interesting...
