But if this is a question about what’s the worst thing that you can do in a rental — I mean...I would have to measure how much clutch slip there is between starting from first and then executing a 1-2 upshift vs. just starting in second from a dead halt.

As far as I can tell, doesn’t feel like there’s a lot of…

It banned chewing gum because people are idiots (and sticking their USED gum all over the place).

Even if you have the cruise control set, the tolerance on that, is still, at best, somewhere around +/- 2 km/h.

Don’t forget that while you’re on an automotive enthusiast site, MOST people literally DON’T care.

Sorry, but NONE of what you said is FACTUALLY correct or true.

The worst that I’ve probably done in a rental car (or car hire in the UK) - learned/perfected my skill of driving a manual.

I am pretty sure that the periphery air/fuel mixture is anything BUT homogenous.

You mean like this?

They’re addding the fuel consumption and the emissions values presumably because of WLTP.
