Re: Improving BOTH Performance and Fuel Efficiency

Most of the stuff you're talking about will provide small incremental improvements at best. Might be worth it if you do a LOT of highway driving, but otherwise not likely worth it

And adding a...

Re: Audi announces pricing and fuel economy for 2014 Audi A6, A7 and Q5 TDI

$46,500 is precisely three times the price I paid for my car. For the extra $31,000 you get:
- One additional cubic foot of cargo space (29 vs 28).
- One additional mpg if you stay off the highway...

Re: Germans Create Lithium Ion Battery that Can Charge an Electric Car for 27 Years

Did they mean 1100 watt-hours per kg?

I don't see any explanation in the above, other than stated capabilities, of what distinguishes these batteries from other "Li-ions" (itself an awfully broad...

Re: Subaru May 2013 Sales up a Whopping 34.2%

First non-AWD Subaru in 18 years. A welcome change IMO, though I'm not holding my breath for more.

If they keep the lid on pricing, with all these improvements the Corolla could end up being a good value again. Especially with the 6-speed MT, assuming the top gear is decently tall. The L has all...

Re: Subaru May 2013 Sales up a Whopping 34.2%

To me the bigger disappointment is that the new Forester doesn't do better. And as has been Subaru's recent pattern the CVT does much better than the MT, something that emphatically does NOT have to...

Re: Honda’s Fit EV -- “Lowest Cost” BEV Lease ... Almost

Re: Could Toyota be Prepping a Diesel for the US?

Australians get all sorts of great diesels that we don't get (Mazda3 and Hyundai i30/Elantra GT come to mind), so I wouldn't get too excited unless Toyota is actually hinting at bringing it here.

Re: The High Plains Aquifer And The Entire Western Half Of The U.S. Are Rapidly Dryin

I also see that same white Model S at least a couple times a week - I now realize a CrossFit...

Since the ticket was botched you're lucky and will probably get out of it. My guess is if the plate number is the only thing correct on the citation, they probably won't pin it to you since they...

Re: More on Audi/Volkswagen’s Upcoming 2.0L TDI

OK, if you drove a 2006 (what was known as the "PD" engine) then you're not talking about the same 1.9L ("VE") that I am. In 2004 the 1.9L increased from 90hp to 100hp -- and suffered a...

Re: More on Audi/Volkswagen’s Upcoming 2.0L TDI

Look, I know the EPA numbers are fallible but the 2.0 isn't even close to the 1.9, even after the 2008 revision. The city numbers for the 1.9 are 7 mpg higher.

So the current 2.0 can get upper 40s...

I remember that theater, although I doubt I saw that movie there. I lived in Clear Lake for a year when I was in grade school. I think it was 1977-1978 or so.

A couple of years ago it looked like we'd tapped out the cheap oil and CO2 would level off because we'd hit Peak due to supply constraints.

No longer. The rise in crude prices triggered massive...
