<<Oh, yeah? Let's debate this. I relates to humidity again. It's more humid and colder back there. Therefore more condensation when hot meets cold. Therefore longer trip time to dry it out. >>

Makes sense. It takes my wife 2 minutes to get to work. She goes through exhausts. Now you folks in the land of rolling black outs park on the freeway for hours at a time going for milk. You get your exhausts HOT.

<<Like a battery dying every 3 years or so. >>

I keep them 5 years now. Fuel injection has made cars so much easier to start. Heat kills batteries, cold makes it show up. The lady across the road called me last year to hook up her battery charger. She was all but outta water. I added water, hooked up the charger and all was well. Told her to get another battery, hers was, get this, 11 years old. Keep them full of water for long life. I use distilled water and a turkey baster to add the water.

I had a Honda Civic VX before I bough my current total gas pig. The Honda had outstanding economy, but as a result you could go 40 miles on the freeway, then fight city traffic for 20 minutes, and the exhaust tip would be ambient temperature. Just not enough internal combustion going on to bake out the whole exhaust tract, y'know? My muffler made itself a drain hole by way of auto-corrosion.
