I don't understand your correlation with 70's stagflation when the tax was higher in the 80's and 90's when adjusted for inflation.

I agree, love it or hate it it's not boring, which so many cars today are.

If you and your partner are drug addicts you both need to get off it together or don't be together because one will drag you down.

This article is easier said than done some people are night owls and some are early risers. I perform better anytime after 9:30 - 10 am. I start work at 7 and naturally wake with the sun on the weekends so this would never work for me.

It's just the shade. It looks like one of those hats hasidic jews wear.

Your welcome, have a nice day.

Reminds me of this. I likey.

Honestly if you are seriously concerned with cost and quality I have no idea why you went with a LandRover. Isn't a subcompact cheaper on gas? If LR says the starter is designed for stop/start use why don't you trust them?

Land Rover's system is a little bit different from the other start/stop systems. The system I was referring to was a mild hybrid which generated power through a regenerative braking/downshift scenario (Buick is using a larger belt operated assist/start/generator). Your LR uses a much simpler start/stop system but the…

Um, a significant amount because it's actually a starter/generator. It takes energy from braking to power your a/c powersteering and other accessories.

It showed ISTP on the preview I guess annotations haven't been perfected on Tablets.

Absolutely, the C-Max is the most European looking car in the US.

Is it a ploy?, No. The question was does it cause dependency regardless of the intention.

True, though some chemistries are much more susceptible than others. And the 20 minute quick charge is only brings the battery to 80% SOC, another aspect that is less likely to damage the battery. The new Chevy Spark EV has a LiFePo3 anode that can handle something like 2000 quick charges. So if you charge at night…

They have just established a fast charging standard. It parallels what tesla has done with the 20 minute charger. No induction stuff though.

SAE = Society of Automotive Engineers.

The scientologists have it already it's called an E-Meter.

Uh, burning a fuel gives off heat and is only 30something percent efficient. Pretty sure this is an improvement over that.
