[ARCHIVED THREAD] - A woman parked her F-150 in the space in a space marked 'For High-Efficiency Vehicles Only' (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 9/20/2019 5:09:02 PM EST

A woman pulled her truck into the space closest to the rest stop plaza. It had a sign marked:

For High Efficiency Vehicles Only.
Must have Green Score of 45 or Better.

I walked over to her and said: "That's a nice stiff 'Fuck You' to that sign."

What did I mean?
And what do you think her response was?

I dislike it when random strangers try to speak to me. She probably didn't like it either.

maybe it was an EcoBoost

I almost parked my VW TDI in one of those spots at work about 5 years ago. I thought my car qualified.

She thought you were a creeper.

ive also parked my CTS-V in a flex fuel spot before.

When one of the grocery stores in my area put up signs for hybrid and “green” vehicles parking, i used to park my old blazer in them sometimes.

Once a woman parked a Prius next to me and gave me a real dirty look. When she got out of her car I told her “it’s ok I had the engine converted.....

.. It runs on whale oil now.”

I park in low emission vehicle and van/car pool spots all the time at work. My car is not low emission and I drive by myself.

How would one go about ascertaining the Green Score for a given vehicle?

[#16]

I used to do that all the time in my 13mpg V8 at places like Best Buy.

I’ll never park in handicap, or the pregnant-women spots... but some BS like a “green” vehicle? F that.

Guy that I used to work with had a dodge demon, he would say the car makes 840 horsepower and gets 15mpg, find me a more efficient car. A corolla makes 1/4 the horsepower but doesn't get 4 times the milage.

It is a highly efficient vehicle. Just not like clown who bought the sign thinks.

That's an interesting thought. I wonder how it actually works out though.

Obviously the demon isn't using all 840 horsepower all the time though and the Corolla will have to use a larger % of its available HP to do something like pass on the highway.

At a set HP number both engines can obtain I wonder which is actually more efficient.

Except I dont think the Corolla makes 210hp and get 60 mpg, I could be wrong there though.

A Corolla with 210 HP would probably be pretty fun, I'm guessing they are more like 120 HP tho.

My BMW 335d qualified as a green car so I got to park it in special spots when I worked on base. 425lbft. I loved parking next to all the Priuses.

Google says the 2020 Corolla is 169HP.

So say you ran both engines with a load to produce 150 HP for example. I wonder if they would both have similar efficiency/fuel consumption?

My version of that:
If I drive the speed limit I can average 25mph with seven people and plenty of groceries or luggage in my Suburban.That’s better per capita efficiency than a Prius.
