Now popo what would you do if you pulled over a 17 year old driving a chevy truck who didnt tell you to **** off?

 

I ask him if he wanted to race, and meet him at the track.

 

Hey smoke what kinda gas milage are you looking like with your bigger tires. It seems like im getting way worse then what i did before. But it may just be me and all i have really driven is around my works campus and its stop and go slow driving. Thanks

 

Yes it is lower, but not as bad as you think. Before the exhaust I was getting 16-17 on average all around (mostly highway here), 15 in the city, and 19 on the highway. Be sure to add in 3.5% to your milage (just multiply what you are seeing x 1.035) since you are going further than what your odometer is telling you. Since the exhaust, my city is 13, and highway is 21. I have been getting on it alot in town though, so these numbers ar not good. I am leaving on a trip tomorrow so I will have good data when I get back.

 

Okay so the odometer is off i was wondering that but did not know for sure so if im doing the math right i take say 300x1.035 and dived by say 17 gallons then it would be 18.26 mpg. Okay that makes since. Thanks

 

No prob man, I am a numbers guy, so I think about **** like that all the time. I number analyse everthing. For example iflowgrade gas is less than $2.01 I buy it if midgrade is between $2.02-$2.71 I buy midgade, and above $2.71 I buy hightest. I just get better miles per dollar that way as I get a little better milage with the higher test. I need to recheck those numbers now, since the improvements.

Man I need to get a life.

 

Ditto!

 

Let us not forget that I don't write them anymore. Unless you are doing something so dangerous there isn't anyother way to get your attention.

 

Lastly, they don't say the word quota anymore. We are required to "enforce traffic and not necessarily write citations". some places require "contacts" but not our agency.

 

Hey I was able to get out of my ticket, sort of. The officer gave me a deal where as long as I mind my p's and q's adn don't get another ticket within 6 months this one will go away. He was a nice guy and didn't mind helping out a medic. Never know when he might need me.
