Man you folks with the hazardous older drivers make me wonder how we got so lucky here in Sun City Texas. Our drivers seem to be good here, most stick to the 35 mph limit, with only a few pushing it to 40 mph. Have seen two ricers cut through the community at high speed but that's it, and i assume they were youngsters. As far as the golf carts and a few SXS, they stay to the right and hum along at 25 mph. Go figure.....and back to OT our AWD average is 27 MPG

 

Here, we don't worry about the older drivers as much as the entitled ones, mostly driving BMW's and Merc's, that feel stop signs are for the other person, not them, and who feel that they must tailgate anyone in front of them (but, if they can pass and do, they then slow down to a speed lower than the person they passed).

 

That right there is a top pet peeve lol.

 

Of course, if they see someone ahead of them, they will speed up to tailgate that person. I think that it's a control thing or they could just be excrement outlet ports.

 

I'm an old geezer and while I don't tailgate, and I do stop when I'm supposed to, I pass everyone...including unmarked cops and I have the tickets to prove it
I was worse when I still had sportbikes

 

I always obeyed the rules of the road when I was very young.

 

My first ticket, when I was 17, was for 110 in a 70 zone. Luckily, I had slowed down before the cop could pace my speed.

 

More like 60-65 on the actual highway due to the rain today. I was off from work last week so my average is lower than normal for this tank.

 

A day 's drives or a week drives reporting MPG it not really a basis for an average. They correct way to do it is over at least 6 months and 2 times a year. Otherwise, what we see is more or less owners that are posting their best MPG on short reports.
I.E when we go to Reno Nevad for a day drive my trip is about 150-200 mile round trip and I get on average 47mpg. LOL That is impossible if I did the correct way to "AVAERAGE" mpg.

 

The CarFax Car Care App is awesome for this along with keeping track of the other maintenance done to your car. It's really nice to be able to follow all the different gas mileage data and see when it's good versus bad.
