Hard to believe this family is really top of mind when y'all can't even spell their name right. 

Pretty sure it’s spelled Moroun.

The term he was looking for was “commandeered.” He commandeered the vehicle to assist in searching for his own.

“a pain in the ass, but a gentle one — exciting even.”

Gotta admit, I was probably a little too tickled over the deck wordplay, because Dad jokes are my life. And probably a leading reason for any future divorce. 

People taking an upper decker are too busy thinking they're screwing the .1% to remember who cleans the toilets.

Someone watched an episode of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, where anyone can magically hail an entire freaking Trolley for their personal use and said “seems workable!”

Instead, we’d just be seeing more articles about how much more they cost up front and how Oshkosh can’t build them fast enough.

Can you please point to where I made a single one of the points you just listed? Who are you attempting to argue with?

The AC in this scenario is dealing with feedback from the engine cooling system. It never gets “fully charged” and maintains it. The harder it has to turn against a heat soaked high pressure side, the more load put on the engine, the more heat the engine dumps into the radiator for their shared fan(s) to relieve, etc.

It wouldn’t really surprise me with its driving cycle being about worst case scenario for A/C.

Well, now I just know that you don’t understand how A/C works in a car.

Again, your example does not include you having a large portion of wall missing. 

Strictly on the 0.3, that’s not unusual for a hard alcoholic. People have been pulled over driving in the .5-.6 range, let alone the levels they reach and aren't capable of driving.

I’m just here for the Eminem references.

Not if your window stays open the whole drive.

You’re thinking of a closed vehicle. This is like trying to air condition an open garage.

Those would improve via regen braking no doubt, but the killer here is the A/C. Neither of those have a magic bullet for that.

You've got it. Electric would probably be more efficient still, but a 79% jump in mpg over the current truck on the same usage cycle is nothing to sneeze at.

It's the USPS cycle. As I noted elsewhere, just shutting off A/C moves the estimate to 14.7.
