    Well, why don't you post your data, Blowhole?

    Make some use of yourself other than being the backside of a mule.

    er, i just told you, we don't have cars here on planet bulldetector.
    and i don't even /need/ to know what a car is to be able to fling your
    excrement back at you.

    flinging your own effluent back at you seems to be working excellently!

    Probably the first true thing you've said all along.

    "it did"???

    ground control to cmdr young: "how exactly to you propose to get apollo
    13 back to earth?"

    cmdr young to ground control: "er, don't know, but i changed the air
    intake on my car once and..."

    you did used to work for nasa, right?

    what do you want me to post? i haven't made bullshit claims about air
    filters decreasing fuel consumption, so you're the one that needs to be
    posting data.

    does not compute. lack of cars here on planet bulldetector has nothing
    to do with i.q.

    i think you need to disable that "jim beam only" filter you have on your
    newsreader there buddy - it's blocking everybody else that's calling you
    on the b.s.

    Gee, I was just thinking about that. No, not NASA, United Technologies.

    You remind me of an engineer we had. He'd draw up a circuit and give it to
    us to build. Invairably, the circuit would usually fail on the first try.
    Then he'd give the tech a good dressing down in front of everyone and walk
    away muttering.

    What we soon realized was he would often bump all the components up
    against their 10% tolerances. Occasionally his designs would work off the
    bat, but fail in testing because when the components were stressed they'd
    come up against the tolerances and fail.

    One of the more artistic guys drew a cartton of an anguished looking guy
    with his hands around his head and a name tag that said simply "Engineer"
    and the caption was, "Oh GAWD!!! You built it just like I told you to!"

    Like you, he thought he knew more than anyone else, but when it came to
    practical application he had his head up his ass.

    Why don't you push yourself back from the keyboard and actually try
    something instaed of being such a fucking Know-It-All?

    In your case it certainly does, since it seems you don't really know much
    of anything.

    But, you keep telling us how smart you are, 'K?

    You said you have data showing the difference between oiled filters and
    paper filters. So, where is it, *MOUTH*? Did you forget you said that?

    I'm beginning to believe who the actual bullshitter is here. Put up or
    shut up.

    Nobody's calling me on anything. Ed's questioning what I did and what the
    results were. I'm giving him the results of two year's worth of driving
    the car.

    See, I actually *have* a car. I actually have a few of them. I do most of
    my own work. I try different things to see if they work, and I keep the
    results in the car's log.

    Some of us here sit behind a keyboard and question everything; other of us
    actually do stuff and see how it works.

    Push yourself back from the keyboard and actually try something.

    Hey, here's something else you won't believe, too. I actually got better
    mileage when I switched from 89 octane to 93 octane. That was documented
    in the book too. And the spreadsheet I made from the data indicated I
    actually saved ~$220 in fuel by using premium gas.

    Now, tell me why that's wrong, Genius...

  14. The Honda recommended oil change ( semi synthetic) intervals for
    Hondas (at least the Civics) built and sold in the UK is 12 months or
    12,000 miles. I have changed the oil in my Civic (2002) every 12
    months and as far as I can see the engine is pristine. Are
    driving/climatic conditions in the US that much more onerous to
    require a more frequent oil change?

    whoops, busted, no books here on planet bulldetector either!

    and the conversation with clare is for "oil", not "oiled". thanks.

    if this guy was having problems why didn't you redesign it for him?
    'cos you did know more than he did, right?

    i can't help you right now though of course - i kinda have my tentacles
    full...

    Now you're confusing me with yourself.

    No, I don't know how to design circuits. But I know how to analyze and
    come up with conclusions. That's how I got the job after only 6
    months as an electronics tech. Something you don't seem to be able to do
    very well.

    Yeah, it's kinda tough keeping up the bullshit line, isn't it?

    he said pendantically...

    You could if you were smart enough to figure the angle.

    Kinda looks like you don't have too many friends in the Honda group,
    either. Ever wonder why that is?

    When did Honda start making Camrys?

    Bozo...
