Ethanol is killing my mileage
Comments (9)Hey! The price of oil has reached 70 USD a barrel, and Brazil is about to reach oil independence, in Europe the price of a gallon is around 6 USD.... what can I say, saddly the americans don't seem able to think out of the box. Everyone complains about the price of gasoline in the US, but you don't realize that this low price make so that no real energy independence can be achived and no real environmental policy can be carried out. Ethanol by itself is not a solution, it is rather part of the solution. Ethanol can be used mixed in cars in mixies of E90 or E85. Making it compulsory everywhere in the US would reduce the oil import, meanwhile the farmes could benefit of this. In the same time the ethanol can be produced partly by using electricity, which in turn can be produce in nuclear facilities, so everything is produced in the US... More diesel can be more widely used in North America, the politicans should change this idiotic ban on diesel. Diesel means better mileage and smaller CO2 emissions. Also there is Biodiesel.... that can be produced in the US, so no more soldiers to be sent in Irak or anywhere else in the world. More just imagine a hybrid car, that instead of using a regular gasoline engine it would use a Biodiesel car and more, it would be plugable (http://www.hybridcars.com/plugin-hybrids.html), so even lower CO2 emissions and complete energy independence.... Just think of it... energy independence and the country that would be considered the cleanest and most environmental friendly. This would be somthing to contemplate.......See MoreLower Gas Mileage Cars
Comments (9)My good old 1983 Toyota Tercel 4WD station wagon got 43 miles to the gallon the day we drove it off the lot! That was freeway miles, and aroun 28 to 30 in town. It's still running strong some where in Idaho... I had it for 19 years, and it was still getting 32 mpg from it's tired old engines. All these new engines are too heavy.... should be able to get that mileage, but with all the stuff they have to put on the engines anymore.... in Europe they have big cars that get over 30... with diesel. Too bad we won't see that here either... one of my accounts is a volkswagon dealer... the bugs ESTIMATED mpg is 20/28. In my 2000 Taurus, my ACTUAL is 23,24/28.5. ....See MoreGot My New Car but I feel dumb
Comments (10)Doesn't a valet key also work in the drivers side door, so they can get into the car. I thought they just didn't work in the inside compartments and the trunk. I've never had one. I hope you really like your new car. Just the fact that new cars get that much more milage should be a help to our economy. Would you buy a 2 year old car with 10 less mpg rather then spending more for that great milage? I would (if I had it LOL.)...See MorePhoto of my new Car
Comments (25)i really really want to say I love it DJ but dang it when I read your gas mileage all my love left!! LOL not really I am proud of you.....I wish I could drive a little car..but with traveling so much on the interstates I feel sooo much safer in a big one..(Tahoe).....my dream car would either be another celica or a smart car.....sooo proud of your gas mileage enjoy.....Brian smokes and it is funny my Tahoe never smells like smoke....course it has leather seats maybe they don't asorb much and I am one who doesn't use the air much even when it is 100 out so it gets lots of airing out...STacy...See Moremaifleur01
