Na I dont feel you disrespected me in any way and I appreciate your concern, and I apologize for any disrespect towards you.
Your right, I am sure I would play hell trying to get more than 25 MPGs in the city, I consider city is an area where there is any stop and go traffic, and when you live out in the sticks like I do, then you can understand why I say I get 26 in the "city", in actuality I get 26 MPGs in the stop and go traffic that I go through out here, in Athens GA I dont get the greatest mileage, so I gotta give you credit for towards that.
I DO however get over 30 MPGs on my biweekly 184 roundtrip trips to South Carolina, and yes I have a few tricks up my sleeves to achieve that good of fuel savings, when I drive the long mileage I am as easy on the car as I possibly can be because I really don't want to wear the car out just driving for my job, the great fuel savings is basically a benefit of being that way.
Now- when I am around my local area driving for personal reasons I DO have some fun and open it up and play, and no I don't get the greatest MPGs when I am doing that.
I gain nothing by telling folks in here that I get 32 MPGs, so why would I lie about it? there is no personal gain from that.
I would love to have an SS but it is not in my game plan, if I was to be given one I would most likely trade it for a V6 Camaro, ya I would love to drive an SS but it would just get me in trouble.
So for those of you who say I am always defending the ownership of the V6? well.....whatever, that's your opinion.
I'm not gonna hate on anyone who owns a Camaro.
