tunde 0 #1 January 26, 2013 So I was bored driving home from somewhere, and my mind was wandering... If a "speedometer" measures speed, then does an odometer measure ods? Does a tachometer measure tachs? How come the fuel gauge isn't a fuelometer? Just wondering... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the crankshaft cranks, the connecting rods connect and the transmission transmits, what do the pistons do?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

"meter" device to calculate the rate of something, speed, distance, ect, "guage" measures the value of something at a giving moment, gas level, tire pressure, ect. You're fuelometer isn't reading back to you how much gas you're consuming within a distance or speed, ect., so you don't have one. The fuel guage only tells you how much gas you have at that moment.

Cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm~~ DCFC I believe, that term comes from the early automobiles where you had a compartment to keep your driving gloves. Now, it's more of a 'catch-all compartment'. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
