You trust the car to make the optimal decisions for you on shifting? Surely you could to better with a manual. Oh, and what about that gas-to-air ratio? Surely you wouldn't drive a car whose designer deprived you of a choke, so you could tweak it while driving different territory. And how about timing? You do adjust the timing for uphill versus down, don't you Herman? Don't tell me you pay more attention to your route than to these important "efficiency" issues. Why you might actually get somewhere instead of complaining loudly about the fascism of auto manufacturers. Kinda boggles the mind. -- Jon -- Jon Krueger, jpk@ingres.com
