Office size is the biggest contributing factor imho. Don't want to burn bridges if you don't have to. In a bad work environment at a large employer you'll probably be asked to leave as soon as you give any notice.
I don't think an automatic with it's torque converter will work that way. Either way, putting the car in neutral or depressing the clutch is what they should have done and is a seemingly no brainer to myself but with driver education standards in America I can see how many people wouldn't understand it's that easy. Let the motor blow and get a new one (under warranty in this case) instead of dying.
So by your logic events like THIS can't happen because no one knows who the bad guy is? You guys are a hoot. Responsible gun carrying citizens are not going to cause a wild west shootout where everyone kills each other.
People that carry firearms don't work like that. This is a red herring tactic that the anti-gun crowd and police departments use. In reality it's easy to tell who the bad guys are. They will be the ones with everyone's gun pointed at them.
This is how the small business I work for operates. They treat employees as a vital resource and asset. They know they invest a lot of time and money to hire and train us so they compensate us well according to how well we help the company make money. They know that without the people doing the work the business wouldn't make money. It's how companies used to operate and imho how they should operate.
Sure in the lean times we don't get the nice bonuses we are used to but we get to keep our jobs because they don't squander away money when times are good because they know bad times are coming.
Yeah I thought so too. Currently they pay 24 cents per gallon. They want to tax at 1.2 cents a mile. So you break even at 20mpg and a car with better mileage say 40mpg pays twice as much tax for using half as much fuel! Sure technically if you drive the same amount you will get taxed the same no matter what you mpg is in this system. I'm on the fence. It's good in theory because the people that use the roads more pay more of the tax that supports them but I'm no fan of Big Brother knowing where I am and how much I drive.
Wow, you really do not know what you are talking about do you? The impreza uses a MAF sensor to meter air. Dumping that metered air with a BOV (not illegal outside of commifornia) causes a rich condition which is well documented and even the idiots on nasioc understand this. The MAP sensor only lets the system know the pressure of the intake air which it uses in conjunction with the MAF sensor to dispense fuel. Heck even the dumb fuel system is pressurized based upon the amount of boost present that also helps dispense fuel. Even the stock BPV (bypass valve) causes a rich condition between shifts. The catalytic converter does in fact convert unburnt hydrocarbons to co2 and water
# Oxidation of unburnt hydrocarbons (HC) to carbon dioxide and water: 2CxHy + (2x+y/2)O2 2xCO2 + yH2O http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_converter even the 2way converters do this. Engine load is just that, engine load. I can get a low engine load number by modulating the gas while in gear, the system still does not know if it's in gear or not it just sees a number for engine load.
So since it's obvious you have no idea what you are talking about you should just shut up and go back to reading, but not understanding, your car rags.
yeah yeah me hitting submit before reading. I did mean co but was thinking about co2 for some reason lol. Still you are so incorrect about unburnt fuel being a problem. I'm running a catless exhaust for track use. The engine is fine and so is the exhaust system and so is the other thousands of people running catless exhausts with unburned fuel popping in their exhaust. Unburned fuel in the exhaust is not a problem at all and is expected because turbo systems can run a little rich between shifts because some metered air is being released to avoid compressor surge and help keep the turbo spooled. But I'm getting off topic. Fuel is still being dumped while the car is in gear because the car does not know what gear you are in or if you are in neutral. This is why the professional tuner commented on your car stalling when you put it in neutral. The Subaru Impreza will still dump fuel. All it knows is that the crank is turning and air is being metered so it dispenses fuel.
You are an idiot. The catalytic converter is there to burn unburned fuel along with cleaning up nox and co2. That speaks volumes for your knowledge about cars.
Regarding the link to nasioc the link I provided dispels what the 'tooners' (idiots) on nasioc say.
And traction control is a different thing altogether. Deceleration has no external loop to look at to cut fuel (unless you can get the tires to spin on deceleration). Also I happen to own an Impreza WRX and on deceleration in gear I'm definitely burning some fuel because I can hear the unburned portion popping in my exhaust. Verified by traveling 1/8th a mile on a grade so that it couldn't be attributed to fuel in the exhaust prior to starting the deceleration in gear.
It's different than a manual. There's a fluid clutch (torque converter) instead of a solid clutch. Yes you do engine brake but it's not near the effect of a manual. And downshifting is not bad, the OBDII cars are smart enough to not downshift if you are traveling at 80 and put it into 1st.
The parent was discussing a Subaru. Not a honda, not a toyota, not a nissan. And I can point you to the ECM maps that show this. If the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor is reading air passing the ECM is putting fuel in. See my other reply.

So basically everyone is saying that people are different? Potentially a product of their environment and experiences. GASP!
Keep grasping at straws. Just because you may not understand firearms and how to properly use them doesn't mean those of us who carry daily do not.

Sorry but reputable tuners will disagree with you about the Impreza. The fuel does not shut off on decel. http://oksc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=61578#61578.
