So I was thinking.
Mileage and effiency are a big selling point for todays vehicles. There is a decent selection of hybrids with electric cars just over the smoggy horizon. I wonder who will be the first fat person to be told that their electric car isn't getting the mileage as advertised because the driver is overweight. Will the auto makers factor in the worst case scenerio when it comes to advertising? Do they purposely make the cars smaller for this reason? Will the fat person take their car in multiple times for testing only to have it returned with helium balloons hidden about the car? One option is to make the electric cars just wide enough so that they do not fit through a standard McDonald's, Burger King, or Wendy's drive through. Discuss. |

Wow, someone made a thread with my name on it... *swoon*
Random fact: My full name is without the "d" at the end- Most asians with heavy accents pronounce it, "umma pao", yeah that's why I go by "Paul" |

Getting mileage out of a hybrid is like getting battery power out of a laptop, if you ask the manufacturers about it, they'll say their ratings are under ideal conditions which pretty much says you'll never get that under normal useage
My laptop for example, says I'll get 2.5 hours of battery life with a full charge as soon as I unplug the power cable; however, I recall when this laptop was newer, I would only get just over an hour out of it even when I was only doing simple word processing. Now though, I'll get around 20 minutes out of the battery even if I'm not doing anything |

If you say "armpaul" fast enough it sounds like "oppa."
I love it when Korean girls call me that. |
