[T3] MPS calibration

Wed Jan 5 16:28:14 PST 2011

Yea, Jim likes to plan ahead and attack his hills and that makes a big
difference... I tend to hit the cruise and let what happens happen.  Does
cost me a MPG or so.

Jim and myself had more momentum (something to do with my mass?)  and Jim
was already on the gas and winding it up for the hill.  I didn't feel we had
superior performance, just superior car handling.  ;-)

Oops, there goes another friendship!

Please elaborate?

Remember the hill in Utah in 02, both of us were flat out and pretty much
evenly matched.  Of course the auto is geared a little lower but the early
cars were a little lighter, I was running the E system back then.
