Not when you're average care weighs more every year and just gets fat.

 

And what your oldest car you've driven, pre 2000/90/80s?.

 

With every upgrade giving worse mpg, Corsa b 850kg, now f at 1100kg.

 

90s was about the time car companies really embraced computer modelling more due to falling costs of computing and EU emissions euro 1 far example forced them to stop making boxes and went curvy.

 

Not really, checking the weight for them all is about 1T, 1000kg give or take a little - quite like my simple hatchbacks - but got to look to older models for ones you can play with easily. Even with that, mpg remains about the same, size and shape is similar, engine about the same, right foot is the same right foot, but insect splats are down year on year for the last few decades.

Wrong thread, also prig is an insult and means the following -' a self-righteously moralistic person who behaves as if they are superior to others.' I am not usually overly moralistic, i am also rarely superior to others - just you.

I'm aware of the description and that's why I used it as you always seem to believe that you are in some way morally or educationally superior.

 

Fortunately I'm able to pick and choose which idiots I hang around.

I wonder if the moaning about trump will reduce once car crash Carney unleashes more WEF bs upon the world.

 

They can all have a little midsummers swingers party without Donald, but maybe invite Jacinta just to bolster the numbers.

Not wrestling again, surely not?

@Anno if you want to be a prig be my guest.

 

Do your survey using any HGV and those shock horror statistics will never be the same.

 

It's called aerodynamics and a hgv is as aerodynamic as a house brick, like those cars you drove back in your back in my day golden era or current defender and it'll look like a killing field.

 

It's also why dirty cars don't self clean whilst driving on the motorway, the angles of the design create a boundary layer.

 

So you're still murdering bugs, just using air to crush them for the next bird meal.

 

 

They must have read your mind Gareth.
