    Audi's CEO is "Going Lutz"

    Ah the Germans have always had a love affair for oil motors since the war, no question VAG group would be biased. Diesel definately has it's strong points, but seriously, an (pure) EV is a much better idea for the manjority of consumer motorists. No emissions problems, fractioned mechanical...

    A little MPG speculation

    Those drivetrains keep the RPMs very low (just above idling really) when you're cruising on the highway. With such low revs, the compound increase of oil drag barely registers with the thicker oil. If the engine turned 3200rpm at 65, instead of like 1500rpm (or less), you'd more than likely see...

    Toyota 5S-FE and M1 0W-40

    Whoa... if it was fuel, that would be a LOT of fuel! I'm going to assume that by "way over" it's 1/2 of a liter. An injector would have to spray directly into the crankcase for a couple minutes to get half a liter in there! From the combiustion chamber, his car would barely run and would be...

    Mobil 1 regular formula vs Mobil 1 Truck and Suv
