<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Ja, your car can produce 306 peak horsepower, but its average usage is less than a tenth of that typically, and you can cut that in half if you allow half again more time to make the trip. If trips take half again longer than they once did, we start thinking of ways to not go, or to combine trips, saving even more.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
