I'm done arguing with you.
Again, I admit I made a mistake, I was looking at Gross vehicle weight. I guess that is what happens when you're in a rush. So I looked up the real weights.

Curb weight for a CC = 3871
Curb weight for a QC = 4244

Difference = 473 lbs.

So there, we are both wrong. It's not 600 and it's not 300. It's right in the middle. How 'bout that?

Well, you said 900 and I said 300. So, i'm actually closer, if you want to continue this pissing contest?

Now do yourself a favor, and re-research the mileage (hwy) of the QC vs the CC, you'll be surprised at your findings. Somewhere other than Edmunds. Also, I underestimated the difference between the two, because I figured you would never learn to properly research...and couldn't catch my fact. I knew it was around 450, I just felt like trying to make you more wrong.

Honestly why does it even matter? Just agree to disagree and be done with the crap.

It's a debate.


The more he researches, and learns, the more he will know I am right.

Okay, but if the gas mileage was that big of a deal then you guys would be driving a prius.

I would NEVER recommend a GEO to anybody. Those things are probably as safe as a Smart Car.

ah hahaha dude you're full of so much sh*t it isn't even funny. Yeah, I know my numbers were wrong at first. I was in a rush trying to do it before class. I made a mistake and I'll admit that. But overall we were BOTH wrong in the whole weight difference. You expect me to believe you knew that all along just wanted me to be more wrong? Whoa you must really think I'm dumb. All I was trying to say is extra weight = using more gas (again, all else being equal; I have to keep stating this or you will throw some random loop hole in there...). You can't argue that. It's fact.

You're arguing a different point than me.

I agree, more weight requires more gas in the city. And I agree, it requires more gas on the highway...but on the highway, the amount is negligible. Whereas it is measurable in the city.
