When I use my foot the whole way, I average over 20 mpg.


Do you look out the window, or look at the speedometer, or do you drive
blindfolded and rely on sensations?


You really have a fixation on the blindfold thing.

Do you like to be tied up?

And, just so you know, vision is a sensation.

Why do airline operators prefer that their pilots use a flight management
computer instead of flying by hand?


You haven't a clue what a FMC is, what it does, or how it is used.

Do tell us about the FMC in your Baron.
