I am a self proclaimed gas thread nazi (well not really, another forum member said it first). I'll admit it. (Hi, my name is Rob and I am a gas thread Nazi).
Since the
Giant Gas Thread seems to be failing (too much to read for the AD/HD generation), I suggest the following:
TWO STICKY POLL THREADS:
"DX/LX/EX R-18 ONLY: Your Gas Mileage"
With appropriate ranges (how they break up in the limit for the poll)
"SI ONLY: Your Gas Mileage"
With appropriate ranges (how they break up in the limit for the poll)
Actual mileage and comments could be posted in the thread body. In each thread a LINK would be provided to the other thread (R-18 in the Si thread, Si in the R-18 thread so appropirate owners post in appropriate threads. I know some folks won't read the titles and will cross post due to a lack of brain activity anyway, but it might keep it down to a minimum).
Any cross populated replies in these threads (i.e., an Si owner mistakenly posting in the R-18 thread) would be moderated (deleted) to maintain thread integrity.
This might help to stem the 3 or 4 time per week "Uh, what's your mileage...I've got bad mileage, what's yours?...EX owner curious about mileage..." threads from breeding like roaches AND actually provide concise, at-a-glance information on chart distribution model of reported gas mileage, BY MAJOR MODEL TYPE.
The main 'sticky' threads could be in The Garage, with a sticky in each "Civic Si" and "Civic Coupe And Sedan" subforum with a LINK referencing the main threads in The Garage.
(And it will stop my demeaning comments in those 'wonderful' new gas threads, an added bonus for those with sensitive feelings and special needs...joy)
