Say gas prices have increased mostly because oil prices have gone from $50/barrel to $70/barrel, and that oil prices stay high. Then ask the same questions.

I’d like to get my hands on her ample nacelles if you’ll pardon the engineering parlance.

In the Florida crash the fire that happened while two people were trapped inside makes it news worthy. EV fires are a relatively new issue, and fire departments are still figuring out how to handle them. They know, in general, how to handle this type of chemical fire, but most departments don’t have actual experience.…

I could of course use the “states rights” mantra that seems to be used by some folks, at least when it’s convenient. The other thing is that even if the number of states/percentage of business is less than 50% (popular vote), isn’t that a big enough number to consider their needs? Keep in mind that those 17 states…

All the houses being built in my neck of the woods are going up due to laborers from, uh, South of the border. But you’re probably right about the other stuff. Of course, there are plenty of those salt-of-the-earth guys North of the Mason-Dixon line too, so I don’t see a loss of those jobs hitting just the South as…

People keep saying that it’s Cali against the rest of the world, but it’s not. 16 other states go along with Cali because they agree with them. The number is right there in the OP. In another Jalop article it was pointed out that those 17 states make up almost 40% of the cars purchased. Your entire point is predicated…

I have to admit that I like the looks of the 124 over the Miata. OTOH, I’ve always disliked the idea of having a high-RPM/high-temperature component that I’m always going to worry about failing.

The answer is always Miata. You chose wisely.

I see it as more of the federal government’s job to make sure that the companies test these systems out safely. I don’t want a family member to die being a failed QC check for some company. That doesn’t require the government to pick winners and losers.

The neighbors really don’t like jeeps cutting through their yards to get to the good off road spots!

To get the assholes off of the road so that we can enjoy our Miatas and Jeeps. Cause of the answer isn’t a Miata, it’s a Jeep.

Historically, the summer spike in my area has been roughly $0.15/gal. That increase has been tied to the change to the summer blend, and happens regardless of oil prices. What we’re seeing now is a significantly increase in the price of oil. Take a look at the gas price charts on gasbuddy. You can see the summer bump,…

This dead Ford ditching small cars horse isn’t even glue, so it’s not going to stick.

Probably the super pro trump who complained incessantly about this person or that doing all sorts of horrible things, only to watch Trump do the same things and then they go “meh, that’s not so bad.” But at times it seems to be too close to call, I’ll give you that.

After doing some more research, it turns out most fuel line deicers use IPA. Methyl hydrate is used, but is not recommended because it can corrode fuel system components. It turns out that ethanol doesn’t work as well as IPA. IPA =/= ethanol, so I was wrong about that.

The talk about the short sellers intentionally priming negative stories so that Tesla stock goes down seems probable to me.

They use to advertise on TV additives that you put in your gas tank to get rid of water. It was recommended in the winter months to remove water condensate. Those additives were nothing but ethanol.

So what exactly would happen if we don’t oxygenate our gas at all? Other than, you know, improve gas mileage.

Car museums? Sadly, I don’t even know if there are any near me. OTOH, how about small town 4th of July parades where classic car owners drive their cars. Or for that matter, the classic car shows that are pretty much everywhere, quite often with some pretty rare cars. In may ways, those car shows are like traveling…

It takes 8.5 to almost 11 hours to charge at 220V. Of course, I’d guess that this guy could probably get a charging spot set up at his work location, which would help.
