Does it have GPS, and/or over-the-air updates?
Altimeter? Inclinometer?

'makes no sense'
You have no testing methodology.
There's no way to learn anything the way you drive.

Once it's making mega bucks why sell it? There would be no better vehicle

Different strokes. The Black Bumper Amish?

Weaverland Mennonites - "Black Bumper" - Third Way
Weaverland Mennonites - "Black Bumper" Weaverland Mennonites are one of three groups in the Old Order groups which permit automobiles (the others are the Wisler Mennonite Conference and the Markham-Waterloo Mennonite Conference (Canada)). Allowing cars and modern farm equipment since 1927 has brought about a major division among the Old Orders.

Anyone know how much of a difference rolling resistance makes at highway speeds? Obviously low rolling resistance tires help a ton in city driving. I have my blizzak winter tires on right now. Bad city mpg but I wonder what their impact is when I’m going 80 mph…

1) According to Caterpillar Corp.:
* from 55-mph, to 80-mph, the rolling resistance coefficient will increase 7.4%.
2) According to Bridgestone/ Firestone:
* LRR tires suffer the highest increase in rolling resistance with increased speed, compared to non-LLR tires.
* Between 55-mph, and 75-mph, you lose 27% of a LLR's mpg benefit.

So even at 90 mph I should still notice a slight difference between tires? Right now I’m barely seeing much of a diff during my trip on the highway

All those driving those speeds were executed as sociopaths, so we don't have any data at that speed.
