And you very neatly ignored the bit where I also found that it did not affect the fuel flow and therefore did not use any more fuel... no wait.. you poo-poo'd that because it didn't suit your argument.

I'd have thought that at least one of them would have to start in order to be a good example :P Nev.. '04 CBR1100XX

Extra petrol is used to overcome the force > applied by the headlamps. For this very reason I've boosted the power of my taillights. They now actually exceed the light beam power of the headlights, which is unfortunate for anyone following me, but quite a boon for my fuel economy. In fact, occasionally when the tank is running low, I'll rest my foot lightly on the brake pedal just to get that little extra boost the brake lights offer, to get me to the next fuel stop. -- *--------------------------------------------------------* | ^Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool^ | | Heath Raftery, HRSoftWorks _\|/_ | *______________________________________m_('.')_m_________*
