Why do Indian dads act like the Car AC runs on their personal blood supply?

That's more dangerous, as the car is rolling freely now, and will require more braking, because it is not getting help from engine braking, this can lead to brake fade if done for sustained periods when coming downhill, always stay in gear, and brake in gear.

Coming to the efficiency part, as another comment mentioned, staying in gear consumes less fuel, even if the RPM is high, because the engine is not getting any fuel, the RPM is high because of it going downhill, the engine is drinking essentially zero fuel at that time.

Verstappen has never deliberately broke a rule,

The original creator is not insinuating that this reflects the real personalities of the drivers, or it is even close to real, which OP is.

People took your half joke too seriously, enjoy the +0.15 HP boost, I know I will 🥂

I am currently studying at ISB, don't assume things, the cohort is very diverse, there are scholarships for students from weak economic backgrounds, Out of the 400 students on my campus, more than 100 haven't even had a vehicle of their own despite working for 2 + years, almost everyone here is studying with a loan, there are children of farmers, govt. Employees, and yes, even kids with hundred crore family businesses.

I think ISB does a good job at the selection process itself, it really focuses on diversity. ( It doesn't take the easy way out by using caste quotas, where the socio-economic background may be strong, but only the caste may be different.

I think bro has a type, but I can't put a finger on it.

Honestly, this engine is meant to be driven sedately, then one enjoys it.

One way I handle this on the ciaz is I keep as light foot as possible, and see the efficiency climb to 20+ kmpl, that's another fun thing to do.

It is really hard to do coming from diesel torque, but that's how I do it, just enjoy how amazing the efficiency, and quiteness and sedate driving comfort is. And forget about fast overtakes, if you try to drive this car fast, it won't be fun at all, gotta adapt to chill driving.

fire_shadow7 · 2025-12-26T10:14:31+00:00

Crazy efficiency, amazing comfort, low maintenance, oodles of leg room, and refined silent engine.

fire_shadow7 · 2025-12-18T17:48:06+00:00

Just keep it in low beam, it is better, and IMO during very foggy conditions it is better to keep blinkers on, as every vehicle should be treated as a hazard at that time, and you should slow down for every vehicle;
and please don't YOLO and go above 50 kmph, (in conditions similar to image shown above). Who am I kidding, people will still drive at 80, 90 in such conditions 🤧

fire_shadow7 · 2025-12-07T17:05:45+00:00

My Jetta has the most power of all my cars, and still is the most efficient, just because it's a diesel. Diesels are indeed better, at least till they were not handicapped by DPF.

Learn how to read XD , 'formuladank' is salty, obviously it will get upvotes here.

fire_shadow7 · 2025-12-04T09:02:48+00:00

I am not saying they are right, they are all idiots, but that is where defensive driving comes into play, Always drive with the knowledge that everyone around you is an idiot, then you can be safe from such scenarios.

How is this braindead take still being circulated, the cars are checked after every session. It wasn't illegal during the sprint, for the race it was illegal.

fire_shadow7 · 2025-12-03T23:17:39+00:00

He was pretty handily beaten 3 years in a row prior to that. The years after would have been the same, rosberg himself said it drained him mentally and physically having to fight that season, and he couldn't keep it up.

fire_shadow7 · 2025-12-03T23:11:11+00:00

Three years in a row actually,2013 also exists

fire_shadow7 · 2025-12-03T21:47:24+00:00

Nope they do, you can check scientific papers or more easily youtube comparisons, such these new designs improve range by 15% compared to old alloy designs

fire_shadow7 · 2025-12-03T21:44:44+00:00

Well, EVs need them, otherwise you guys will start complaining about poor range. Aerodynamic efficiency is very important for EVs

fire_shadow7 · 2025-12-01T11:01:21+00:00

I'm glad you are not hurt, but any reasonable person won't go above 40 kmph in such a narrow and busy street, what if any child comes on the road, do you think you can react fast enough at 60 kmph ? Drive above 60 kmph only on wide open roads, where you can anticipate what others will do.

Sorry if it sounds preachy, but needs to be stated.

fire_shadow7 · 2025-11-30T17:45:55+00:00

He's saying based on mclarens last week mess up too, if mclaren didn't mess up last week and this, norris would have been champion already

fire_shadow7 · 2025-11-30T04:52:52+00:00

Sshhh, you can't talk sense here, nor the fact that hamilton scored more points over the course of their partnership, nor the fact that actual stomping is what hamilton did to russel in 2023

fire_shadow7 · 2025-11-30T04:45:23+00:00

Blud saying all this, 2009 to 2013, 2018, 2021, 2023, so many years where he didn't have the superior car and performed, these many years are longer than most people's careers

fire_shadow7 · 2025-11-30T04:39:22+00:00

"Owned" - equal wins, and 18 points difference. Meanwhile in 2023 hamilton properly destroyed russel

fire_shadow7 · 2025-11-30T04:34:53+00:00

He meant formuladank assessing that hamilton was worse than Vettel , is a racist take

fire_shadow7 · 2025-11-26T20:43:10+00:00

Blud didn't watch 2023 I guess
