[extropy-chat] now that's fuel efficiency

[Al Brooks]

All true, Brian, but on the expressway, I'll drive
nothing but a large vehicle, preferably a truck. I
feel safer in a truck & drive more safely in it not
always being conscious of being in something that
feels like a tin can. If I have to think at all about
driving, and the vehicle itself, then it isn't
automatic.
