my sentiments exactly..... :460: 

Better be careful, Craig. You don't want more enemies in your life.

 

Enemies? You mean the V-6 guys here? They're just jealous because thay can't achieve the gas mileage we I4 owners get and we can still go FAST. :gitara: Passes semis like a dream I might add. :bwekk:

 

You're diggin your own grave, Craig.

And they also know which school your kids go to.

I'd shut the puck up, if I were you.

 

You are too funny! :banana: I don't care, the rotweiler and shephard both go to different schools. That's so they don't develope the same bad habits. I want them to have different tastes for people. The Glock serves a good purpose too! :gunsmilie: :beer:

I'm perfectly satisfied with the mileage I get with my V6. Come back and talk to me when you beat an average of 36.5 miles for a 630-mile-range full tank of gas, then maybe I'll be jealous.

 

You're a DEAD man, Craig.

Hope you got a will written.

Here we go again... I got 34 driving two hours at 65-70mph. And the weather was drizzly all the way... So I could EASILLY get it to 36.5 and better, driving the way you drove, mc, at 55, no A/C with the Cruise Controll on.

But why trust me? It's just a matter of pure LOGIC, no? If a 3.3L V6 engine can get you 36.5 mpg, does it need rocket science to expect a 2.4L I4 to get you MORE?

You've been baiting me all day, trying to get me to respond...figured I'd just give you what you wanted and be done with it. I got sick of watching the two of you casting about like that with your little wriggly worms.

 

That's ok, I'll admit that I could probably achieve better mileage with an I4 implementing the same driving style. I never claimed that I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to mislead people like that, you know...

I4  6000 RPM = 121 MPH

[snapback]79298[/snapback]​

Math Quiz -
If you left central MT heading east at 121 mph and I left western ND heading east at, oh say 130mph, how long would I run out of gas before you? :bwekk:

Jealous? Heck Yes!! I just can't seem to pull over 24 mpg unless I stay under 65 mph with a tailwind! :bwekk: :bwekk:

 

What is this, a hen house ? Bicker bicker bicker ... :whistling:

 

:grin: Careful, or I'll peck your eyes out! :grin: :grin:

 

So let's be friends again, mc, let's compromise, here is my resolution: The V6 is slightly more powerful than the I4, and the I4 (though plenty powerful) is more economical than the V6, and it looks sexier.

See, I'm a man of peace. I love all men who drive the Sonata. I'm a true saint.

 

:bwekk: Yes, the V6 looks sexier. ! :bwekk:
(from the back, fake dual exhaust)

 

1. I don't fish. :w00t:

2. Come on Mama the V-6 is way more powerful than the 4. :banana:

3. I can work both sides of the fence. :whistling:

4. If we don't stop this hatter will close this one too. :57:

I was just having fun as I'm sure Mama was. :blink:

IMO that if we had a V6 powder white pearl when I bought my car and they were the same price I probably would have opted for the 6. :innocent:

 

My If is at about 6k at 120 MPH but it is still in third gear . It shifts at around 120 to 4th gear

Well, some posters here take themselves too seriously.

Hey, cheer up! :gitara: :gitara: :gitara:
