^ That.
Um, yah, sorry for having a discussion about the topic at hand.

This discussion was completely civilized and interesting prior to your post, Pike.
Kevin, I have always been told that you'll get the best gas milage by driving in the highest gear that the engine runs smoothly in (RE: no lugging). I actually just read this in Amanda's Honda Civic owner's manual this week too. You're posts in this thead indicating that being below the torque peak is worse for gas milage are certainly news to me... At least we agree that taller tires will hurt your acceleration.
