The last post in this thread was 2011. It's 2017, fuel is cheap now, no need for efficiency.

I always find it interesting which threads get resurrected from the dead. And wonder do they really want to truly add more to the thread topic? .....or.... are they just randomly selecting threads to post to and don't bother looking at the last most recent post date? lol.
