    Vauxhall HCCI

    1 Imperial gallon = 1.20095042 US gallons so 43/1.2 = almost 36 MPG US
  2. some theories have tons more evidence than others. Gravity is very predictable above the nanoscale. Evolution explains pretty much everything except how life started. "global warming" has some facts backing it up, but does not explain a process or events why those facts are there. Oldsmoboi.... I too don't care what we use to fuel our lives, as long as it can be extracted/pumped/refined/made in responsible ways. making a market for corn ethanol that causes more pollution than other alternatives is not responsible. Brazil makes ethanol, what, 1/3 as cheaply, yet we can't trade that with them, how is that responsible? subsidies and devaluing the dollar with our foreign policy/budget is not responsible either. Ideas / policies that aren't responsible is what is causing all these debates/problems/unrest in our society. When you break down our problems down to something everyone can understand, instead of the blame game, solving the problems become much easier.
  3. I see what's going on. lol i voted for the bottom with out realizing really what you were talking about.
  4. don't piss of our future global government. certain pres candidate( s ) think they need to pass things that the UN wants done... like a .7% tax for "global poverty"
  5. yes, but i'm betting the genisis will be slightly lighter.... DI the 'bu and it should get the same.
  6. this guy is talking my kinda language. get the Government out of it!!! look at how cheap computers are, and they have 1 restriction i believe, ffc compliance. phones too. minimally regulated industries typically flourish.
  7. http://gizmodo.com/391794/flying-rc-penis-...kasparov-speech this is hilarious. to bad he got detained a while back, maybe because he was running for russian president (can't laugh at this man that much.)
  8. just like the laugh we had at the 70's global cooling scare... We're just human, we still know $h! compared to how everything works.
  9. which would only widen a divide in the middle class more.
  10. monitary devaluation is what is pushing this anti oil movement, for price reasons.
  11. the NG BAS with the 2.4L turbo?
  12. maybe the oil pump got clogged, that would cause no oil pressure and kill an engine pretty quickly or they put the wrong "oil" in it.
  13. hope the injuries aren't bad.
  14. front tires aren't off-road tires too? hm, wonder why. cool otherwise.
  15. interesting. you usually do come up with good articles....sometimes above peoples heads. your CVVLS looks like it'd work, but maybe a tad fragile for the work it'll be doing...? maybe.
  16. any chance a 6speed will be produced for it then? i just told my uncle impalas were going to be around for several more years...at the notion the malibu is to small for him and my dad evidently.
  17. thanks, but a minimum wage is artificial to the market. Low wages should be for menial unskilled work... flipping burgers. this pushes people to get educated / move to better jobs. A minimum wage increase does not help the middle class, only the poorer/younger of the workforce. If you want a look at inflation, watch the link in my sig... Fiat Money
  18. you remember when there was the "mission completed" speech a few years ago? Colbert did a spot on it about how words evidently could mean whatever people wanted. yes words evolve, but sometimes people use "hot button words" to make readers interested.. it should not be that way, if words don't have real definitions, why do we have dictionaries?

    summer movies

    I'm pretty pumped about Wall-E... http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/05/14/must-w...in-la/?=rssfeed what movies are you pumped about?
  20. you think the new Aveo5 engine would be an easy swap in? ~100% more power, prolly the same economy with a 5 speed. lol
  21. That's hilarious. more companies should be able to laugh at themselves like that.
  22. what in inspiring post! /sarcasm oh come on, you know when you can't discuss something and dismiss it like that, you either show ignorance or huge amount of bias... which is lots of times, the same, not all the time though. I don't know... we certainly travel different, now it's just the destination for most people, not the trip. I 'm so glad I grew up before in car dvd players.
  23. but look how vietnam has changed since we trade with them, compared to how bad we thought communist regimes would be for that country. Carbiz. gas is still kinda cheap when you measure it against inflation. people's incomes just have not risen at the same pace inflation has been creating a void between the rich and the poor.

    Facial Hair

    http://www.dyers.org/blog/beards/beard-types/ some are actually quite funny/good.
  25. i tend to only fill up once every 3 weeks or so.... sometimes 2 weeks usually 11-12 gallons a time. ~240miles on my car.
