Does the asker’s half highway, half back roads change this? I just arbitrarily picked a Volt; but I think my more general suggestion stands - he needs some kind of plug-in hybrid.

With a 120 mile daily commute, you know what would be fun to drive? A vehicle you don’t have to stop to fuel up three times a week. Here’s a 2017 Chevy Volt with 27000 miles for $15k.

Second gear:

It looks like a comfortable place to spend 115 Leagues on the Highway.

My pappy said “Son, you’re gonna drive me to drinkin’ if you don’t stop driving that big ass Lincoln”

It’s not the most clear of sentence constructions; and could use both the positive case and a period:

I know you’ve already gotten a lot of answers, but a fun detail.

We use it all the time on my Flex, and mostly at home.

This is actually easy to explain.

“Nice career you you’ve started.  I’d be a shame if something bad happened to it.”

A check with our Canadian friends shows this plane was imported to Canada in May of 2019 by Mincho Trujillo:

Valeri Bure scored 196 times in his professional hockey career.

Why dealerships?

There might be ‘automotive majors’, but there’s also a bunch of schools that offer regular degrees with a focus in automotive applications. Any school with a Formula SAE team would probably offer a technical undergraduate degree with an emphasis on automotive applications.

Huh. I always thought the IC engine kept the 12V battery charged, not a DC-DC converter; and the 12V battery management would trigger an engine crank at low voltage. I’m happy to be corrected.

I owned a standard hybrid, and as ffoc02 pointed out, there was a software issue where the 12V battery would drain and the car would be a no-start. It was irksome, because you could have a full charge in the traction motor battery pack, but there isn’t a DC-DC converter to step down 400V to 12V. A software update…

One thing Detroit has going that pretty much nowhere else can claim? All the pre-production prototypes running around. Sure, they’re in full cammo; but where else are you going to see next year’s product, or test mules for something that’s two or three years away?

Perhaps, but I’ve also seen it referenced as spelling. It might be more precise to point out that the units were wrong; and the W for watt needs to be capitalized.

“The energy units are spelled correctly. And currency when not mentioned is obviously USD.”

Only for perpendicular parking.  If the lot is angle parking; you will pull out and be going the wrong way down the aisle.
