Went to the beach and howled at the moon and left the engine running. Done backflips, round kicks, choked some men and lusted after Gabrielle.”

You said yourself, “This is a forum founded firmly in science.” Do your fuel log entries look like good science? Where I am from, science is measured by good data that demonstrates results, not by who posts the most links to videos on the internet.

Also, I agree that my truck doesn’t work on here; it works in real life doing things. No, the truck has not delivered fairy floss but one time it did deliver flowers. It typically delivers building supplies to construction sites. I did not realize this was a fairy floss and flowers type of forum, I thought this was a forum about doing and accomplishing things.
Completely off topic. I really have to stop reading forums while drinking hot liquids. I feel the long term effect of shooting them through my nose when laughing may lead to a reduced sense of smell, or worse.

Back on topic, here is a question to ponder...what technology will there be 11 years from now? We now are seeing direct injection engines, Skyactiv, Hyundai's new spark plug-less gasoline engine, etc so there will probably be a few more major changes to current engine design to aid in better fuel economy.
