    65mph on OH turnpike

    I agree if we all ran the posted speed,it would jam up the Interstates of our great land...Better yet,have half of the trucks running 1 MPH under, so there is allways slower trucks passing.The backups would be tremendious.

By Mystery repair I mean the dealer was instructed to do the procedure but not make a record of it in any way.I was told (off the record)that it involved stepping up the fuel pressure.The only real cure would involve a re-design of the computer.This is...

    Van Revenue

    Use a dart board and take your pick.There is no best,and no worst.Drivers jump from co to co only to find out that income is affected only by the economy.For the long haul if one of these companys comes up with something that works,the others follow shortly.
