What has seemingly happened with these larger companies is they just got lazy. They become huge OE tire manufacturer and they just rest on that.

My Mustang has a thing that shows all kinds of info, including "Average MPG", which I take to indicate real time actual fuel consumption. If the number is low, I must be using fuel faster, and less if the number gets higher. It has a 14.5-15 gallon tank, with about 400 miles to the tank if I watch how I drive. So that ends up being just about what they rate the car at, which is 25-26 MPG when all is said and done, even though it's not supposed to have more than a 300 mile range.

Here's a vid I made of the Stang:

YouTube - Our New Mustang!

Click the link above the vid if it won't play here. It wouldn't when I tried it.

I like it! Good job on the video too

Kumho,Hankook,GT Radial are all companies that sell their tires cheaper and perform just as well. Which is odd since all of their stuff is shipped from overseas

I have a set of Load Range E Hankooks on my big beast and they are just as good if not better then other sets I have seen and used... and they only cost me ~$550 installed a few years back.

Sony Vegas Movie Studio 6 - Yep! And believe me, this wasn't my first vid, either. I have several posted on YouTube (mostly vids with Y movie footage set to X song). I threw that vid together in a short time using most of the footage we made. I know the text isn't that great, but I wasn't focused on that so much as trying to make what footage I had come across as not boring, LOL!

I have never doubted that.

Enough practice with vegas 6 and you can make some reallllly nice movies.
I actually downgraded from 8 back to 7, and i use both 6 and 7 depending.

I like 7 more for editing together footage, but i like 6 more for creating effects, even though 7 has more of them. So sometimes i create them in 6, put them into 7, further them, then back to 6 to complete it, then back into 7 to make the movie..........

Sometimes i wonder if i should just get a mac
I am jokes.... don't worry

I've done a number of vids using footage from the newer Star Wars movies (I have a relative that's nuts about SW), and things like "Seven", "The Time Machine" (new one), "Aliens", "Bram Stoker's Dracula", and even the chick-flick "The Notebook" (I was trying to be versatile). I use a lot of heavy metal in them, though things like "The Notebook" features .38 Special, and "Seven" features a song by The Eagles/Joe Walsh. The "Aliens" one has this Death Metal tune, and I made two versions - one with subtitles, and one without, LOL!
