I'm not sure if the guy only does it to show off, but it's scary to ride with him, so I've heard.
I won't be seeing his accelerating MPG, but I'll see his cruising MPG, which will make me pretty happy. It shouldn't hurt the tank that badly, since it is extremely difficult to ruin a tank in my car (flooring it only goes up to 9 gal/h, which is like really low in my opinion) so I won't mind doing a 90+ run for science.  |
Please do tell what it is like under acceleration if you can, I'm curious what both numbers will be compared to mine lol!
