I said it, you can assume it’s true.

All-Seasons are fine in northern winters if you have some semblance of driving ability

It still factors into fuel economy though, as automakers can only use Cafe numbers that include ASS if the system defaults to being on at every powerup.

Why not? Minivans get several mpg better in real world tests, and since they’re low to the ground unibody vehicles, they are miles ahead in driving and crash safety. Reduced weight and size means consumable costs for things like brakes and tires are lower, too.

Okay, then why use data that includes full size vans, and why use EPA numbers? Fuelly shows the 2.7EB F150 gets 17-18 real world, the Sienna gets 20+ real world, the Odyssey gets 21+ real world.

What is this data supposed to show? Why are minivans (+ full size vans which are a totally unrelated category) being compared to pickups?

You wouldn’t know my girlfriend! She goes to a different school!!

No, that’s not how that works. Displacement is a fixed value determined by bore, stroke, and cylinder count. “Adding displacement” is a euphemism for “adding power” used by people that don’t understand how engines work.

Screenshots of blurry text displayed in varying, but all incorrect, sizes?

I like this theory.

That’s a good point that another commenter pointed out. Stats in incidents-per-mile is more meaningful than straight numbers.

Nitrous oxide is effectively adding displacement, so is using a turbo or supercharger.

It’s probably even difficult to make a conclusion on what sex is more likely to be the cause of the accident based on this article

men are more likely to be piloting the striking vehicle in multi-car accidents, and the individual inside the car doing the hitting “is at lower risk of injury” than those inside the struck car and men, in general, drive more aggressively.

Speaking of preconceived notions...

around 103 are listed at $72,000 to $96,000. This is at least within the range of the MSRP.

lol

Yet another vehicle ruined by way too much sidewall and way too little tire. When will this epidemic of rubber band-esque tires finally end??

I guess maybe you’re just really confused about what I was responding to.

Sure, with the benefit of hindsight to know what vehicle to hold onto, and how somehow in the middle of a global pandemic there would be a website where coked-out buyers pay ungodly stupid sums of money for hunks of steel and plastic.
