| 467152 | 2006-06-30 07:09:00 | No . For normal cars . There were fools who did that on Millerton hill on Dole day . They'd roll cars down the hill and start the engine at the end of the hill to get to the gas station . Two things were noted: 1 . - Those who did that went through a HELL of a lot of brake parts . 2 . - Those who did that frequently parked there cars over the bank after failing to take the corners well . Yip, it was a small town with a lot of dumarses |

Plus amatures drivers don't follow pro drivers. :thumbs: It is for your safety. I saw some amatures drivers can't even handle their car when the engine break down during breaking. |

| 467157 | 2006-06-30 08:48:00 | Go for it, Metla. We might learn some more. I must remember never ask for anything I order to be delivered express - too hard on the poor delivery guys trucks with all that extra RPM's. But GF's link on engine brakes was about the only useful thing I have read in this thread. Now I know how a Jakes works, I know they are noisy, nothing like using the Jakes on an old Detroit all the way down the Kaimais on a quiet night! | Andrew B (867) | ||
| 467158 | 2006-06-30 08:50:00 | I guess the inevitable question at this point in time would be: So how old are you MTLance? You seem to know lots, but your facts are generally wrong. You seem to keep interjecting with umm (tactful) nonsense. I too put it down to youth (hence I have laid off) and the fact you are just trying to fit in. Hopefully I'm right with that assumption. In which case; Be yourself (not some leet someone else) If you aren't sure, say nothing (hard to do sometimes; this I know from experience. Tis also better to say nothing and appear the fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt) By all means help, but don't be spouting off, its not a good look |

Means staying out of the group and read and ask questions? Prehelps my facts aren't really clear. Maybe jumping here and there is so confusing. Can the administrator increases the time for editing and changing it all the time? Like other forum does? Not 15mins? |

| 467160 | 2006-06-30 09:01:00 | What about 18 Wheelers? And who says about shutting down the engine for trucks? That dude must be crazy.:annoyed: Lame. I agree, that dude may well be a little odd as you say. In fact several have noted that already in this thread. Only one person has suggested shutting the engine down when going on about trucks. You might even recognise the posting below perhaps. Is it true? But Trailers for tractors consumes different amount of fuel depending how heavy are the trailers, that's why the truck companies cannot produce a report to show how much fuel does their truck consume. Weight can affect the whole trip, depending what road you're travelling too. If you travelling down hill all the way and wanted to save fuel. I say shut your engine. That's all because running the enigne is using fuel.. Let-er rip Metla. I might even subscribe to this thread ... |
