I do have a few degrees of my own (Graduate Level) but education does not mean or guarantee the usage of common sense. All I'm saying is that you are over analyzing a small problem. Most innovations come from highly educated people with degrees in their field. The few that have done so without, well...

Jetwrangler, you are living in two extreems. If your hill has such a small grade to where you are only getting up to 60 at the bottom then engine breaking is minimal as well. You have an engine to preform two functions. One is to accelerate and the other is to declelerate. Your engine has been desig...

If you calculate the actual MPG you will find that your computer is off by about 0.5 to 0.3 MPG. This is a difference of about half of a gallon. In addittion, the computer program is geared toward a 3 gallon reserve and does not include this in its calculation. In other words it only thinks that you...

All of these products you speak of only mask the problem

All of these products you speak of only mask the problem until it wears off. So, what really CLEANS the trim and gets rid of the stains left by waxing?
