Indeed. One town I know has a wholesaler in the city limits so they don’t have a city owned pump to my knowledge. Instead all city vehicles go to the wholesaler to refuel. (wholesalers often have pumps for smaller business-to-business sales) 

Idiots who drive four blocks.... geessh. Parking was cheaper on campus than where I lived 3 blocks away. As in 1/12th the price for a year. Street parking was a pain. So I parked on campus. Maybe things are different over there.

There’s a commonality they are overlooking. The place, outside or in house, where the vehicles are serviced or the city’s own fuel facility (provided they have one, some towns do, some don’t. Generally they buy wholesale and have an underground tank and pump).

In this chain of articles there is no apparent defect in the tires, rather what is being accused is a misapplication of the tires that leads to failure. That the tires were never suitable for RV use. 

They get even ‘better’ when the sensor is dying but still recording something like video. Lots of random colors and it begins to look like surrealism mixed with impressionism.

I have never seen so many cars with bald tires than I did in LA. That might be the real problem besides just not knowing how to drive in the rain.

I’ve bicycled roads as steep or worse. Even one or two in Illinois. The repeated up and down is a feature I haven’t encountered but the steepness doesn’t seem all that special.

Your tax dollars at work requiring more tax dollars for the military industrial complex.

If you want affordability and fuel economy take the light weight cars of the mid 1980s and put today’s modern small displacement engines in them. There’s your affordable fuel efficient, 50-60+ mpg car. There’s just one problem, it’s illegal to make such a thing and sell it as a new high volume vehicle. Over the years…

Power output increases with thermal efficiency, it’s the very engineering definition of the term. What is desired is to have enough power when the engine is most fuel efficient. This may or may not be peak power. Usually it won’t be in real world applications.

“Even if a department’s corrupt, having that many witnesses is considered undesirable.”

Because they would be expected to share the plunder.

“For the first, it surprise many folks who drive abroad when a police officer issues a ticket then asks for payment right then and there.”

As soon as I saw the the signs I realized even the revised easier to deal with or more appropriately dumbed down Dan Ryan Expressway would cause these things to screw things up. If it can’t handle it now they would have been spectacularly bad at the various splits and merges of the ‘Ryan before it was redone.

In another forum a long time ago one of the regulars used the term ‘invisible bus’ with regards to people who couldn’t see something obvious, often an actual bus up ahead because they wouldn’t react to it until the last possible moment. Then one of the early auto-braking tv ads had the car braking for a bus…

Over time what is expected of motorists diminishes with rules, devices, and technologies that are supposed to increase safety or reduce the load on motorists. The problem is that the population shifts around that new lower expectation. The mean shifts. People maintain their effort/risk ratio for the most part or at…

If that’s the whole of this thread then its very different from the others. The threads on this incident I haven’t read extensively. That said every previous time I point out how TM is clearly not doing FMEAs or not doing them correctly while getting to blame the customer I get a shit storm of disagreeable responses.…

I’ve grown tired of pointing out the basic product development engineering steps TM is either not doing or ignoring. The crowd here likes TM so it blames the motorist but in another thread for something else it will be GM or Ford in which case it will the company’s fault no matter what, even though basic motoring…

Exactly. I don’t get it. He should know better. He should know that either the software had a bug or the sensors were not sending the software accurate information.

I have no idea what has been altered in OK law in this passage recently if anything. The passage as reported is typical of what has existed for decades. I have no idea why the three lane portion is even in the article other than the author not understanding it or some other reason.

People who don’t mind only look at the monthly payments. That works once or twice. A trade in or two with negative equity down the road they’ll mind.
