seems pretty gay to me… :shrug: not enough info supplied in that blurb, but how aware is the car? Where as what if you are in a situation where you need to abruptly accelerate out of a danger zone ? ---

Not a bad idea. I still gawk with wonder when I see drivers going WOT from red light to red light. Your average driver still doesn’t understand proper usage of the left lane. How are they to comprehend that the harder you push the accelerator, the more gas your car is going to consume? “MPG is MPG, amirite?” ---

lol aint that the truth as for the system, it seems really retarded. People who WANT to save money on fuel, don’t need this… and people who don’t want it, obviously don’t need it either. makes me wonder if they’ll use it for EPA/CAFE bullshit (look, THIS car avg. 40mph with gas saving mechanism… Lets up the GTR another 100hp) ---

To me you just seem like an idiot. It’s also, usually, not people in “performance” cars anyway. I see more guys in f150’s who think their gas pedal is an on/off switch than any other car. They also are usually the ones doing 80mph+ on the highway running up the left lane. ---
