So my car has both, what's so surprising in the fact that different makes and models have different functionality? I know of lots of features that my car has and other cars don't, and the other way around. Hell, the bloody warning blinkers in my car have an extra state machine that I have never seen in any other car. Took me ~3.5 years to discover it by pure chance. I am sure I paid for it, too. :-) > It's really hard to get any meaningful measurement without averaging > over long periods. I think my previous post explained the meaning of "long" compared to fuctuation scale. Note again that Guy and I were discussing economy in a particular driving regime rather than long term consumption over your typical driving pattern. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | p...@goldshmidt.org _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
