The computer generated MPG figures can be buggy. Do you reset them and start a new trip each time on the counter? Could also be winter blend gas, I lose 1-2 mpg in winter months it seems. Sorry your thread got turned into unrelated insults, that happens a lot here lately. This place is really becoming hostile lately as I see users responding to the topics at hand and then others throw blind insults at them unrelated to thread. One of our users commented on a dash tray and then was called “closed minded” and told he lived in an “imaginary world”. Talk about inappropriate, hopefully the staff takes action on these issues soon and deletes these as they occur from both sides as it’s killing my brain cells. This stuff should be in the lounge. Anyway, 15 is low for highway as I generally get 17 mpg on my EL.

Yes, I'm the User that said that. The other User Jeff attacks me constantly unprovoked as 762MM did above. I don't intend to just sit around idle while inflammatory idiots post garbage. Maybe you are like that, not me. If someone wants to start a fight with me I will fight back. I have put those users on IGNORE so hopefully I wont even see their garbage, its the best I can do and I have stopped the ridiculous interchange, but now you have decided you want to perpetuate it while simultaneously claiming you want it to stop. Odd.

I’ll put you on my ignore list now too for good insurance. Really is a great feature, I’m not going to have exchanges with someone who attacks other users on the regular.

Travel where your interested in... I do it for work and it feels good to stop and smell the Rose's, bushes, even the ponds....

I agree with the separation idea!!!

Your choice.
Never thought you were the sharpest tool in the shed anyway and good riddance!
Occasionally you post useful Expedition info so I wont IGNORE you.
That's what this Forum is all about is Expedition information, not Political or Tribal BS.

Whoa... you really are a special kind of a POS, aren't you?

By the way, talking about being "off topic" in this thread, what does your trout expedition, number of cop cars and bails of hay you saw in Saskatchewan (learn to spell btw, lol!) and crime rates in Canada have to do with the original topic, MrStereotype?

762mm come on, don’t stoop down to MrStickers level. He spends most of his time on insults, he’s hardly sharp enough to comment on my intelligence LOL. I mean come on, the user stats speak for themselves here. Just ignore it, don’t play along that’s what people like him thrive off of.

So .. that's pretty funny. I do have a solid sense of humor.
Urinal Spacing Dude is the sicko who thrives on this BS and you accuse me of that?
Yes, you're clearly a Fart Smeller.

Yeah, you're probably right. MrStereotype strikes me as someone who knows a lot about very little.

Urinals seems to be his gig, for some reason... piss splash distances, especially. He's expert level at that and can even do conversions from imperial to metric in his head, so that piss never splashes from one urinal onto the next when he's installing them.

Lol!

762 mm is a dimension related to spacing between urinals. How appropriate!

Where partitions or other obstructions do not separate adjacent fixtures, or fixtures shall not be set closer than 30 inches (762 mm) center to center between adjacent fixtures. There shall be not less than a 21-inch (533 mm) clearance in front of the a water closet, urinal, lavatory or bidet to any wall, fixture or door.
