Maybe I didn't read it thoroughly enough, but 1) obstructing traffic by hovering there and not passing (left lanes are for passing) and 2) camping out in a rig's blind spot add up to 2x stupid, dangerous driving to me. I'm all for saving gas, but not at the expense of safety. I unfortunately CAN picture some numnutz taking some of this info and using it incorrectly like driving his prius 40mph on the hwy (65 posted) to save gas. I sure hope I'm wrong, but somehow I fear someone will eventually, unfortunately, prove me right.

Member Post nr. 283 California 323i 1982	agreed in the danger. Lots of stuff in there is very interesting though. for the most part, after reading all around, i think im going to put a little more air in my tires and leave it at that,,,ive settled on 34psi for all 4
