I agree with Grimey, but I think a lot af crime in TO goes unreported due to the huge ethenic population; some of which do not trust the cops.The gun crimes are always re reported as per Commandant Millar. :smt096

Some Canadians think that our citizens can go to any country they like , do what ever they please and when they get into trouble our government should bail them out and bring them home to be coddled by our judicial system.

Re: Hypermiling and Gas saving Tips

Driving with very little fuel in the tank is hard on a tank mounted fuel pump as it overheats. Save yourself the 2 or 3 hundred $'s to replace it by filling up at 1/4 full. :)

Had a heck of a time restarting a Seminole's engine when I was multi training in December. Pretty much resigned to heading back on one but gave it "one more spin" and it fired. :mrgreen:
