[QUOTE="soberups, post: 843153, member: 14668"] Lets do the math on this bad boy. The other day I tried a little experiment; I closed the BH door without latching it so that I could "time" how long it took me to open the door without a key vs. with one. I didnt use a stopwatch, I just counted out one-one thousand, two-one thousand etc. My best estimate was that not having to use a key saved me about 1.5 seconds every time I had to open the door. Lets be optimistic and round that up to a full[I] two[/I] seconds just to make the math easier and give UPS the benefit of the doubt. If I am in a [I]tight[/I] residential area that normally averages [B]30[/B] stops per hour, that means I am completing one stop every two minutes. So a savings of 2 seconds per stop X 30 stops means that, in theory, I would save a total of [I]one minute[/I] during that hour of work, which translates to an increase of 0.5 SPORH. And this is [I]without[/I] factoring in multiple stops being delivered from one park position, meaning that more than one stop is being pulled every time the BH door is opened. So in reality, [I][B]even a 30 SPORH delivery area would see a gain of less than 0.5 SPORH[/B][/I] with keyless entry, and even then only under ideal conditions. And there are very few residential areas where 30 SPORH is even remotely possible. I dont know who decided that keyless entry would save enough time for a 1.4 SPORH increase, but they need to put the crack pipe down and learn to do some basic math. [/QUOTE]
