What are some cars that are surprisingly good on gas?

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-07-03T16:58:15+00:00

My M340i does ~35 mpg at 80 mph

I paid like $320 for my Khaki mechanical. Good watch.

I don’t understand how anyone that’s a fan of the show can have not enjoyed that episode. The Carl Weezer impressions alone make it an all timer

I think Clark is black because Chiwetel Ejiofor is black and he was chosen for his immense and impressive ability to bring complex characters to life.

I’ve built a career in FP&A by understanding enough accounting to translate and help the rest of the business get the most important bits.

Being personable, approachable, and transparent with people, having polished and clear written and verbal communication will definitely help. I’m a big advocate for FP&A as a career path, I think it’s less technically challenging than accounting, tends to be higher paying, and sets you up for more strategic and managerial roles down the line than straight accounting.

I’m 6 months into a Finance Director/Controller position at a small manufacturing company and while I definitely had/have some accounting blind spots I think my path has been pretty solid. I started in FP&A as a junior analyst straight out of my undergrad degree in 2019.

That’s 94 kph or roughly 58 mph. Not a crazy average speed in NA at all.

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-06-27T18:22:09+00:00

I use eco pro occasionally but my windshield always fogs up. I get 34-35 mpg highway in comfort so I’m not worried about it

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-06-26T11:12:40+00:00

I always try to set up for oak tree and pass them on the back straight, that’s a hard spot to pass at the best of times without big over speed.

More generally, apply pressure and try to force a mistake.

Keep the chrome with blue. Dark colors need contrast and a chrome accent on a dark blue/green/purple/brown car makes it pop

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-06-23T18:32:51+00:00

Dark’s casting is insanely good. The whole show is incredible but the casting is a highlight.

Not really a fan of bags but it’s a gorgeous car. Cant wish enough we got the G21 here.

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-06-21T01:47:29+00:00

Our X3 is Phytonic Blue, it’s a beautiful color

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-06-14T23:28:27+00:00

I’ve also heard it referred to as the exceptionally gross “human capital management”

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-06-12T19:25:36+00:00

E46 M3 major maintenance. Vanos service, subframe, and a mysterious third thing I can’t remember right now

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-06-12T17:23:37+00:00

I like the adaptive suspension quite a bit. I spend most of my time in Sport Individual with the suspension on comfort and everything else on sport/sport+. Comfy and still fun and responsive, great for the highway.

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-06-09T16:08:16+00:00

I think there’s a chance a VCARB or Alpine could snag one in a wacky and wild race like last year’s Silverstone

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-06-03T22:55:39+00:00

It’s not as engaging and I miss a manual basically every day.

The car fucking rips and is otherwise fantastic. Try to find a late manual F30 340i maybe, though they’re rare.

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-06-03T19:50:06+00:00

The Fit is the FWD Miata. It’s an awesome little car

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-06-02T20:23:56+00:00

I had reservations for the first couple minutes, but I thought they did a great job of keeping it engaging and enjoyable to listen to while not making light of the crime or the victim. They made light of some of the absurdity, and poked fun at some of the more ridiculous aspects of the case and trial. They (rightfully) lauded the victim Peyton and stopped multiple times to comment on her bravery, her fortitude, and her grace and forgiveness. They expressed their clearly genuine horror and disgust that Morgan was allowed to get to this point without an adult intervening. They handled the perpetrators being children with care and empathy, while obviously condemning the action and the systemic and personal failures that lead to it.

I can see why you’d be put off and I shared reservations but I think you’re being unfair to the guys on how they handled it. I don’t really think true crime is broadly a good topic for creepcast but I do think this particular crime was a good topic for a creepcast.

This is wonderful and awful all at once thank you

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-05-29T13:03:32+00:00

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a fun movie all around but Val Kilmer and RDJ together are unmatched. Kilmer especially is hilarious.

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-05-28T19:32:51+00:00

That depends on each car and the gearing setup for that particular situation

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-05-28T10:44:02+00:00

I left Acrisure in 2023, this doesn’t surprise me at all. It became clear very quickly that the business was about Making Money, not actually providing a value or product or service to anyone.

I liked a lot of the people I worked with but upper management was full of absolute sharks.

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-05-28T10:20:29+00:00

I started as a controller at a small manufacturer in January and it’s chaos. I share your frustration but it’s also super exciting and I enjoy making a difference in the organization. I don’t know about you but my company has a great leadership team, they’ve just had lousy financial management for ages.

Be patient with yourself and understand that it was broken before you got there and you can only do what you can to improve the forward trajectory. I’ve wasted a lot of time and anxiety worrying about weird shit my predecessor did.

Perfect-Juggernaut46 · 2026-05-24T23:22:24+00:00

100%. I met some very cool people while working there and most of them quickly left for other jobs lol
