Default Re: Is it OK to call "BS" on this board? And a real discussion...

I've taken to the slow accleration 40mpg. I don't have a problem with it beeing to slow for "real world" driving. Most people don't care that you aren't accelerating like a dragster. I haven't been honked at and I think people that say you will be honked at are full of "BS" if they think it happens on a regular basis. Sure there may be some one out there that will honk because you are not accelerating fast enough but I haven't experienced it. Most will just pass and be on their way. The only time I can recall getting honked at is when I didn't move when there was a 15' gap between me and the car in front of me at a red light. To that I say "too bad for you" to the impatient driver behind me.
