Is this the car for you?

So you're saying Texans drive fast ... not here they don't :) ... or if you mean drive 55 mph ... well fuck that ... everyone here knows 70's the real limit :D or 80 or 90 ... it kinda depends on the day ... 90 on Fridays ... 70 on Mondays ... or maybe 20 on Mondays (traffic)

American Cars are typically engineered for 92 octaine. The larger engines usually require higher octane fuels...obviously sports cars and luxury cars would.
Oddly enough, I live in England and have yet to see a 95 octane standard...I've seen it sold as premium though. In texas I used have a choice of 89 - 97 octane. And, yes, I bought a gallon for less than Europeans pay for a liter (the translation right now is about $8. a gallon, argue that, it cost 6 pounds to fill a one gallon fuel can). Anyway...
American cars thouggh be gas guzzlers and larger are coming a long nicely as far as efficiency. As far as durability, they have always been competative. Before everyone goes waving their fingers at SUV's, remember there are plenty of European motor companies who make gas guzzling sports cars and SUV's as well. You can't blame the American Manufacturers for supplying the market with what is selling. They just don't sell like that here.
As far as those two cars go....I would have to see how many times I could roll them with a side impact from a Peterbuilt....
Worker201... About the fruit and veg...
I would kill to be able to stroll through the farmers markets again and get fresh fruit and veg, not to mention a nice loaf of Mrs Bairds White sandwich slice bread...Come over here with me for a while where things are seasonal and there are some things you just can't get...(unless you want to pay triple what they're worth). Or better yet, live in Korea for a while, you will never complain about TEXAS produce ever again.

I was in South Africa a few months ago. Had some really awesome apples. Then I went to Madagascar, and had some really awesome apples. Then I went to India and had some really awesome apples. Then I came back to the US and had some really shitty apples. I don't know what else to say.

75 kph = 46 mph. Try going 46 mph on a Texas freeway. You'll be lucky if you live.
