WOW. I just saw this.

Is this guy still here, or has he been banned?

1) ...did you every consider that you could fill your tank up with 87 octane and drive your same route 10 times and get ten different MPG results?

Yes, and they are usually within .3-.5 MPG each time. I actually do the math and keep a log. That's as close to scientific as we can get.

2) Your test lacks controls to be able to draw conclusions.

As does your opinion.

3) ....did you attend college?

Yes, Georgia Tech. I actually know the science- you think you know the science. And don't try any cute comebacks- I'll just look at my degree and my paycheck and giggle.

Will there be anything else Pavel? I generally reserve arguing on the internet for times when I have nothing more adult to do, but watching you unravel and make a fool of yourself is worth it.
