But that's not Kewl!
I use the 'computers' in my Chryslers all the time to 'modify' my driving.
I was doing 55 in a 40 one time on a back road and saw the blues. The cop
asked if I knew how fast I was going. Um, I have an idea. He asked me if I
was being a wise guy. I said, no, pointed to the readout and said, at this
time of the day, on a clear road, THAT'S the meter I go by. I was getting
45 MPG with my LHS!!! He let me go, with the words...Look at the OTHER
meter more often!
