So where does my 5.8 rank? 340 lb-ft biatch! And very nearly the gas mileage of Vanessa.... Well, not really. More like half. But definitely twice the fuel capacity!
- BLINGMW - 05-11-2004
interesting. Some are complaining that their hybrids aren't getting anywhere near the mileage they should. I haven't looked into it yet-- I'd say they were morons if it weren't for Consumer Reports agreeing with them... :|
"In Consumer Reports' real-world driving test, the Civic Hybrid averaged 26 mpg in the city, while the Toyota Prius averaged 35 mpg, much less than their respective EPA estimates of 47 and 60 mpg. Hybrid cars performed much closer to EPA estimates in Consumer Reports' highway tests."

You have to realize that city scenarios are BEST CASE. Very little stop and go I believe. Unles they are mandated to do a certain scenario.
- BLINGMW - 05-12-2004
I couldn't get the damn Prius to drop under 40MPG for very long. I'm just surprised 30's are even possible.

TDI/EcoDeisel, sie sind die Scheiße.
Especially with diesel fuel being 30 cents less than 87 octane...
- ScottyB - 05-19-2004
has anyone seen the retrofit kits for deisel engines that allow you to run used vegetable oil? you need a better fuel pump or something of that nature, then find a place that wants to get rid of old vegetable/cooking oil. dump the stuff in after its been able to cure for a week or two, and you can run a diesel on the stuff. it actually lubricates the engine better as a bonus, and the exhaust is just condensation.

uhm, it's called biodiesel, and it's not used vegetable oil. it smells like burnt french-fries when combusted, and it does lubricate the engine better! great stuff if you ask me!
