Jay,
Apparently you can't grasp the subtlety of what I'm saying,
There's nothing subtle at all in claiming what someone else writes (and makes
an argument for quite elaborately) is "dumb". And that's all you offer, some
nice "if you're not with me, you're against me" rethoric. Sad, actually.
so allow me to
bludgeon you with it: Any pilot who knowingly, willingly and routinely runs
gas tanks dry in flight displays a cavalier attitude toward fuel management.
Running a tank dry by accident indicates poor planning. Running a tank dry
on purpose indicates poor fuel management. Both are dumb. Both are
dangerous.
Sorry, but that's BS, plain and simple.
Do you run your engine as low as possible on oil, too, just to extend the
range between oil changes?
Not as low as possible, but certainly below the allowed maxium. I do it to
avoid blowing oil overboard senselessly. I have never filled up to the maximum
allowed. It would be dumb.
