Not surprisingly. The heat of combustion of ethanol is 22*109 J/m3, while pure gas is 33*109 J/m3. So any blend can do only worse than pure gas, in terms of fuel economy.
I think mine has, for it's AS&G. The procedure to stop the engine is put the gear in neutral and release the clutch. But of course it is possible that simply releasing the clutch is enough. When the...
Pretty long, considering the belts were made from canvas reinforced rubber. In this blog some guy tells about the maintenance of his Daf 44, and he states:
My 2013 Space Star has a build-in radio with CD player. When the car is off (don't know the appropriate word in English) the radio is dead, and doesn't react on any button, as expected. But the CD...
Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me. I seemed to remember there were a handful of types, among which a Fiat Punto. But according to Wikipedia there never was a high economy Punto diesel. I...
I disagree. It's easy to build a 300HP car if you have the budget. The engine is powerful enough to move just anything, and the buyer probably isn't interested in economy. So just add some more...
What do you mean with 'sweet spot' here? Normally a sweet spot is the place where two conflicting requirements have a combined peak (or off-peak, depending on the curve/units).
I suppose you are...
I don't see 71hp specified in the article you linked to. It specifies 121hp/105 lb-ft for ICE and electric together. Anyway, as far as I know the big thing in electric motors is not max power, but...
We all know that you can't sleep at night because of worries about the CVT. So either your wife doesn't know, or she doesn't care. Don't know which is worse.
"ADR 85/00 requires new vehicles to meet stricter rules around protection from side-impact collisions with narrow objects like poles and trees."
I know Australia has a rather different fauna, but...
Not sure what you are trying to say. I'm not implying that a Mirage is a bad climber. Just that 'it takes 30 seconds to get to 75mph' doesn't say anything if you don't know the slope. On a slope down...
Did you, prior to this incident, run the (cold) engine for only a few seconds, and then leave it for a longer time? It's a known issue that a Mirage then will have problems to start.
Today I saw I have passed the 100,000 km. It's now 100,503. When I bought it, it had 35,559 km behind it's wheels, so I have added about 65,000 km in 4 years.
