When the government stops taxing fuel economy and starts taxing gross vehicle weight we will actually see fuel efficiency skyrocket.

No one rides public transportation, that is a giant waste.

You gotta love how the Federal Government is mandating more fuel efficient small cars and FCA and FORD just said they aren’t going to bother making cars anymore because no one wants them.

Wrong. States are soverign and can do whatever they want. They do not have to adhere to federal mandates. Generally speaking, the federal government uses your excessive taxes to bribe states with block grants to comply with federal standards. States do not have to accept the grants or comply. States are soverign, and…

As predicted, no V8 in the ATS means no bragging rights and no panache. No one wants a turbo V6 no matter how much horsepower it has. The small block V8 would have made the ATS desirable. The LS/LT V8 is the only thing GM makes that everyone can actually agree is a good product.

Normal people don’t drive like there is an egg between their foot and the gas pedal. Human nature means we push the pedal until we feel like we’re moving. The EPA test is bullshit because it is such a slow and gradual acceleration test. No one will hit those numbers unless they are intentionally hyper-miling.

Automakers are obsessed with turbocharging everything at the moment, being that consumers are demanding ever more power and low-end torque feel from their cars, while attempting to meet fuel economy expectations at the same time.

Lazy criminals get caught faster than fastidious ones.

Have you never read a criminal investigator novel?

That engine was designed from the beginning, as all engines are, to run on the worldwide standard of 95 RON so they are just de-tuning it for America. They do not design engines for America anymore.

Its simple, if you owned a non-new vehicle you essentially got screwed because finding ethanol free gasoline is very hard to do with a mandate of 10%. Ethanol settles out, so if the tanks aren’t stirred and you accidentally get 30% ethanol on your fill up, you blow your fancy turbo motor to hell and BMW doesn’t cover…

Same reason you run corn water in your engine and it ruins your fuel system. The government knows best.

The argument is that price per mile will go DOWN. More power from fuel means you use less of it to do the same work.

The butterfly trashcan is where its at. Terribly overpriced I think, but everyone I know has this exact can in their kitchen.

It should read: Ford discontinues their terrible cars that were just as tall as SUVs anyway.

Public transit is a huge boondoggle. Unless you drop billions to bury a subway, its slow, smelly, dirty, and most importantly inconvenient because it doesn’t take you where you actually want to go.

Bet you he pushed the stupid button and turned off DSC.

As much as people love to pretend that hunters hate all animals, they are very active in making sure the animals they want to shoot will be around to be shot in the future. They want their children to be able to shoot these animals as well. In our world, the animals that produce the most money are the ones that are…

This is just click-bait trying to pit one class against the other.

I bet they all used the same gas stations and got way too much ethanol because they didn’t stir the tanks and that blew the engines.
