Gas milage

 I've been fighting one hellacious of a head wind morning this really killing my mileage. So between the cold temperatures and this Edwin I've only been getting 23 to 24 miles to the gallon on this tank of gas which is 5 to 10 miles below.

Billboard and firetruck

This business spend some serious money on Advertising with the fire trucks. I must have passed at least a dozen of these signs with the firetruck by each one of them. Some of the fire trucks and newer some of them are real antiques like this one

4 wheeling in the storm

Last evening I went off road 4 wheeling in the fields of Waterloo Recreation area with my RAV4 hybrid all wheel drive. 

1st the RAV4 hybrid can't complete with the off road performance of a true 4X4 like Jeep, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Hummer, etc., But it's superior to 2 wheel drive.

2nd Traction control. Turning it off made a big difference in the deep snow in starting from a stop, keep going, going up hills or rocking the vehicle to get unstuck (which I had to do). Example if I didn't have enough initial speed to make it over the hill, letting of the gas to idle and the a smooth acceleration got me over the hill without having to back down and try again.

1 big misunderstanding on 4X4 and all wheel drive vehicles, is that they give you the best control and performance at a speed of 25 MPH or less. Also It doesn't help with stopping. It only helps you to get moving on slick roads and parking lots and maintain control at slow speed. They can spin out at high speeds just as easily as 2 wheel drive vehicles.
