Aren't you the person who argued that recharging a car's battery has no effect on it's mpg efficiency?
I didn't argue anything. I did state I don't think it would have much effect as the alternator is turning whether you are using the electricity or not. I am not sure though. I know a guy I can ask. [Reply]

Do you notice an effect when you are riding a bicycle on a flat road versus riding a bicycle up a hill? [Reply]

I can feel the engine lug down when I turn on the A/C. And I check my mileage every time and I know that the A/C uses between 1-2 mpg. I feel no such lug when turning on the lights. But, then, the alternator is already turning. So it can't be using very much fuel to run the lights. I'm not sure it uses any. [Reply]

Not as much as the A/C, no. But it does decrease mpg efficiency. It has to. Unless, of course, you have headlights that don't run on electricity. [Reply]
GoChiefs should lose anyway, because you should've been smart enough to know from the beginning that whatever number you gave, Skip was going to go higher. [Reply]

So much for this. You barely nipped me. You're full of it, as usual. [Reply]

I'm sure he took the test 6 times to get the answers down. Then took the test we're seeing. [Reply]
Wow, 147 for the old dude? That's amazing. Just think GoChiefs, don't know if this one is like others, but usually age makes a difference too. The older you are, the lower your score goes. At his age he beat you out by 10 points. Shoot, it he had put in the same age you did, he could have scored even higher.
Just think of how skip would have scored if he weren't so forgetful and hadn't been around all those grass burning sessions. [Reply]
