I'm going to guess the two-speed transmission allows the motor to be efficient through a wider range of road speeds---and also smaller. That...
Dividing its displayed trip miles by displayed miles per gallon yields indicated gallons. (Similarly, dividing displayed miles by average miles...
Yes, it does. Unpainted black plastic must be cheaper than paint or shiny metal.
I paid a relatively small "market adjustment" when I bought my '81 Mazda. Back then, when people still had vivid memories of fuel shortages of a...
Coincidentally or not, those are exactly the same speeds my Prius engine favors when warming up, and when coasting with fuel cut off at more than...
Whereas maybe 10% of mine is (trips to Florida and the Midwest).
Yeah, but I can carry a lot more stuff than you did, and can be more comfortable in adverse weather.
Driven as Edwin drives them, pretty much any car can "do more than its duty" by at least 25%, assuming "its duty" is the EPA highway rating....
I saw <$3.60 here yesterday. Was $3.699 when I last refueled. Edit, 4-22-22: ">" changed to "<". Oops!

kW•hr is energy. Power is kW.
It's 231 in³ of any liquid, whereas the Imperial gallon is 10 pounds of water, approximately---and I'd guess originally by definition.
Do you check your pump receipts carefully? My last receipt from a pump at a QuikTrip store exclaims "Thank You for Shopping QuikTrip!"
I suspect the displayed mpg is truncated down to the next lower tenth (vs. rounded up or down). Allowing for that would make more difference, and...
Spokes follow the laws of pitch of vibrating tensioned members that we all should've learned in high school physics. They're a little more...
Why not? http://www.bikexprt.com/bicycle/tension.htm
That's fixable if due to rim not being properly centered with respect to the hub, and one takes the time. It's not so fixable if due to bad fork...
Right. That's not hyperbole, but literally true, assuming an angry Japanese horse puts out the same power as a plodding English draft horse, as...
I've never needed to replace a rotor or drum in roughly 850K miles on the 4 cars I've owned. The Mazda, which did most of that total, got new...
Separate names with a comma.
