The V6 Honda Accord develops about 290 hp and does 0 to 60 in a bit
over 6 seconds.Â* Nothing boring about that.


Engine efficiencies have come a long way.Â* The Canyon I bought has a V6
rated at 308 hp.Â* It has an 8 speed transmission that I really like a

What are you averaging for MPGs? If I drive "rationally," I'm getting
about 23-25 MPG in suburban areas with light traffic and a few
stoplights, and 27-29 MPG on the Interstates if I stay at my typical
60-65 mph. Six-speed manual tranny. Drove wife's Camry 4-cylinder auto
up to Bowie earlier this week, about 30 miles, on U.S. 301, and averaged
37 MPG for light traffic, but plenty of traffic lights, driving. That
sort of MPG will put a smile on my face with a nice-sized four-door
sedan.Â*

If you drive 60 to 65 on the interstates you should be arrested for
obstructing traffic.Â* Here in FL 80 to 85 is more like it.Â* Even in
nanny states like NY people are now doing 70 to 75.


I drive at the posted limit or usually a few mph below it, if it is 70.

I have become the same. When on the interstates I drive 65-70 mph max.
Really don't give it **** if it ****es anyone off.

It reminds me of traveling down the ICW on a power boat versus a
sailboat that is putt-putting along at 4 or 5 knots. You overtake the
sailboat in the morning and then in the afternoon when you've pulled
into a marina and are fueling up, the same sailboat soon goes
putt-putting by you again.
