So apparently they had to study to figure out that more weight = less mpg.

No friggin kidding?

I'm really hoping the people who did this study got paid for it. If so, kudos to them for sticking it to the man.

Sorry, I just love seeing a new "Study" each day on Yahoo's main page that is sheer common sense.

 

There's some amazing knowledge. I always wonder, race car drivers on TV are always talking about how to make the car faster, shave off weight, etc. etc., when they are carrying something like 100 lbs. that they don't really need. You think they'd opt for skinnier drivers or something.

 

^^No kidding, they do everything they can to shave off like 2 pounds from the car, then they have a drive pushin 250???

 

Ironically, we, the tax payers, pay for these nonsense-pointless research. Same deal with research pointing to the positive/negative effects of coffee consumption, wine drinking, etc.

 

Well either way man, kudos to them for finding an easier way to get paid for telling us what we know. I'm just mad they beat me to it.

 

^^^+1

 

its the same ppl who tell us on how to live our lives

 

That is one of the main reasons that females do so good in the drag bikes in NHRA. The ladies have slightly better reflexes and weigh at the most 150# in their race gear. And they look better.

 

Hell yeah, they look better!

 

now thats a major turn on!!!
