but Ram has said that it expects to “lead the segment” in fuel economy, which would mean beating the F-150 diesel, which gets 25 mpg combined.

I can’t argue that I love me some BMW.

Our highway mpg went up a tic after the fix, from about 45 to 49. The biggest difference I’ve noticed is that when the car is not fully warmed up it is a bit of a dog, almost as though it’s not allowing full boost or fueling until its been driven about 5 to 10 minutes.

Because in order to make power, efficiently, you want a hot combustion. By having a hot combustion(lots a clean air, lots of compression, advanced injection timing) you also produce more NOx(but less CO2 since you are burning less fuel)

In order to suppress NOx they utilize the EGR. The EGR dumps exhaust back into the…

I think it stems from the attempt to broaden the appeal of diesels beyond the traditional diesel owning demographic.

They went from 44mpg to 42mpg *reported*. It was a poorly kept secret that VW Diesels regularly saw better than 50mpg in the real world. Another irony from this is that, while their smog emissions were out of spec, their CO2 emissions were actually so much lower because of this. In all, if global warming is your main c…

I just assume the Theranos lady is at it again

Yeah that’s not a thing. H2 is a totally different substance from H2O. And electrolysis takes a fair amount of energy.

It’s also extremely reactive in normal conditions (in other words: EXPLOSIONS).

Stanley Meyer? He was a fraudster. You can’t split water and then get more than that amount of energy back from turning it back into water. 1st law of thermodynamics.

My confidence in bold claims is inversely proportional to the number of typos in the presentation.

Yeah! Santa don’t take no shit, y’all!

Money has nothing to do with any of these. They are all GM employees.

Huh. Didn’t burn.

Why did  you turn?

There’s a new Vette??? Since when?

We neither feature the most guns per capita, the worst mass shootings, nor the worst rate of gun violence. We do however feature multiple politically charged 24 hour news stations waiting to point cameras at fresh bodies.

You are forgetting the obvious government solution. Jaywalking is already a crime and since AVs have cameras everywhere, when a car detects a Jaywalker, it sends the video feed to the local police department that is cross referenced with multiple data bases for facial recognition, and then they issue a ticket.

If that…

Thus proving this is the first stage of Skynet, right?
