it was a response to rchase who did a long thing ranting about slow drivers and ended up (it seemed to me) calling me a moron, indirectly.

my point being that he was point a 'slow' finger at the wrong person (me who has a proper germanic lead foot).

Hmmm. You don't drive a Prius do you? While my critical comments on your "science" was for you the comment about the slow drivers was a broad statement meant for everyone who clogs the highway being cheapskates. For all of "those" people. If gas is so expensive then STAY HOME!

Sorry for the delay. Here is the formula:

( wattage of the stereo / 5 ) + 20 = optimum speed in MPH

I do try to use common english. It was not really an apology as it was not my intention to insult you in the first place Tom. But I am not really happy that you felt slighted or insulted by my post so please do consider it an apology if that is the case. It is somtimes difficult to challenge someone's ideas and concepts without them feeling like its personal.

I have read many of your posts in the past and you do have insightful and informative things to add to the discussions here.
