I probably should change my handle to "TDIdude" since I don't have that gas-guzzling SUV anymore. I used to be satisfied with getting 17MPG, but now 45MPG has become the norm.

I'm new to the forum, and regret ruffling feathers on the "15 more PSI" thread. I'm not looking to re-hash the thread which was completely beaten to death, but I thought I was just making an argument about following warning labels, and the danger that "could" exist when people choose to do otherwise. Some people apparently took great offense to that, and resorted to name calling - which is unfortunate, and probably the reason the administrator locked the thread a few moments ago. Again, please, let's not open that debate. I'm fine with agreeing to disagree. I hope others are too.

I think people are generally helpful, and can respect other's positions even when they are contradictory to what they believe. That's what a free country is about. We may not all agree with each other, but I'd assume we're all here for the same reason: To help ourselves and others increase MPG, bounce ideas around, and try to help everyone get the most out of our vehicles.
