Is there any other form of power measure that can be used to rate an engine other than torque and horse power? The reason I ask is because I have seen engines with identical horse power and torque curves on the "dyno" which "feel" very different in the real world.

whenever i think about trains or buses i take everyday to school, it irritates me, because i have to travel a long way, with enough stress every morning. when i get down to change transport, i get so irritated that i think to myself ''aaaahhhggrr..the same silly road again, i have to cross it, change a bus, walk again to school'', in this weather.etc..etc..all makes me depressed and stressed by the time i reach school. how can i get rid of this? please don't suggest something like ''try a new route, get a magazine, etc..'' Give me basic tips how to think positively about it. thats all i want. i want to see tips in terms of what exists,not what i CAN do, which wont happen right now anyway. tell me what i SHOULD do to improve current situation. im really fed up with travel. how must i make up my mind? because it's inevitable..

I have a 1991 Toyota Camry DX. I just started a job in pizza delivery yesterday and before starting the job, I put 4.672 gallons ($10) of gas in it. This made the meter go to half tank of gas from empty. The car had 203200 miles on it as I left the gas station yesterday.

Today I was driving back from school, the car is running on empty. With 203270 miles on it.

I can't understand it. 70 miles in half a tank...this all translates to 15 mpg.

I usually go through half a tank in about 200 miles. What could be the cause? Help will be appreciated :)

It just seems to me that they are allowed to pull over anywhere (without indicating), U-turn whenever they feel the urge (without indicating), switch lanes (without indicating), drive in two lanes at once, stop whenever and basically do what they want? Where can I be trained to drive with such levels of skill and dexterity?
