I-91 Diamond Lane Rant

[Black Phantom]

you clowns should live on long island & ull see what idiots behind a vehicle is like....one stupid, rude, idiot after the other....

You need to develop more of an edge.

Sorry, just a little AM rant. :angry:

This is probably my fault . . . I told Glenn that I wasn't planning on hiking up Inferno in the rain on Saturday. Now he's having withdrawals.

Sorry bud. But don't take your anger out on the HOV lane. I got stuck behind this Audi (headed to Dummerston I think) a couple weekends ago. My Hemi based vehicle idles at about 85 MPH. They just wouldn't get out of my way

I think I might have passed that A6 on Saturday while pulling the Uhaul trailer at 80+ with my Acadia That might also explain why I averaged 12.1 MPG while pulling that trailer on Saturday :lol:

LMAO! I must be bent due to the lack of snow!

I saw 13 1/2 MPG in my Mountaineer towing a trailer with 3 bureaus in it from KMart down to Massholia on Saturday. I kept it at 65. It's quite shocking after getting 30+ MPG in the VW. The farthest my SUV had gone in the last 18 months was Rutland.

Yup! I'll normally get about 350 or so miles on a tank of gas with my Acadia, after the towing the trailer from the u-haul place to my house in CT and then upto Mount Snow and back down to where I dropped it off in Hinsdale, NH, those 200 miles had consumed just over 3/4ths of a tank I think that my vehicle liked not pulling the trailer, as on the ride back home to CT on Sunday, I averaged 20.8mpg :lol:

It's amazing how much "drag" a trailer can create. Even if it's not loaded much, just the wind drag is enough to hurt mileage.

I have the V-8 and towing package on my Mountaineer so it gets crap fuel economy even when it's empty. 17 to 18 mpg is about as good as it gets and that's cruise control at the speed limit.
