The only concern I have is how raising fuel taxation affects the poor, because a fuel tax can end up acting as a regressive tax against the bottom of society (priced out of living close to work, as well as causing used fuel efficient vehicles to be priced out of their reach) but that’s not an argument for keeping fuel…
1st Gear: This demonstrates the fundamental problem with CAFE. Forcing the manufacturers to make small, fuel efficient cars doesn’t change what people want to buy. To quote Bob Lutz, “reducing fuel consumption by forcing automakers to sell smaller and more frugal vehicles is like fighting the nation’s obesity epidemic…
Yeah, let’s overlook the trend. I guess there’s nothing to worry about.
People are so short sighted. Even if you set aside the economic backlash of increased fuel prices, there are emissions considerations.
My late model cars get 40 and 32 on the highway, my late model truck gets 21 if I am lucky. It’s all relative. Trucks guzzle less, but they still guzzle.
Right? I don’t get how some people are so dumb, let me buy a big gas guzzling SUV vs a fuel efficient full sized sedan or wagon to drive everyday. Happens every time I swear. History will never repeat itself right!!?!? LOLOL.
Ah, that’s the inevitable signal gas prices are gonna skyrocket in six months. Everybody get ready for it.
This truck surge is going to blow up in our faces when gas prices inevitably go back up. I look forward to picking up a gas guzzler on the cheap when that time comes.
Is she waving to get the attention of the tow truck? I know it’s a Miata but FCA played around with it.
Don’t worry Finnish peoples. U.S. military exercises here in the states are always mistaken for a government invasion of Texas.
This is the most entertaining thing so far to come out of new top gear.
wow he actually made that look kinda fun.... it looked dull as fuck when the stars ran it.. (i place equal blame on editing.. and boring stars)
Literally the only thing they did right was hiring Chris Harris.
To be fair, they weren’t boring right under the science buildings of a university, or under Manhattan, or dropping stations into an urban area.
It’s that there’s no way to tell. It can and has proven to be lethal, but without taking it apart or blowing it up, you don’t know if it’ll work right. The propellant supposedly is affected by high humidity causing inconsistent/too high pressures rupturing the metal canister that holds it. Theoretically, it’ll be a…
What that seemed to imply was that Supercharging in the 3 would work much like it already does in Tesla’s existing Model S and Model X
