Winter blend gas to summer blend, and what is the ethanol content in the gas before and after the switch? Less ethanol content should result in better mpg.

Specifically who? Can you name names and link their testimony?
I have visited an engine plant myself and no way in heck could I verify manufacturing details in such detail, and the failures in QC before shipping the engines.
Plant was the International engine plant in Alabama. Start up...
This tear down was posted Nov 2025.
Toy claims manufacturing debris. 2 manufacturing plants with same cleaning issues is tough to believe.
Other thoughts are spun main bearings due to less than optimal engine design causes debris and engine failures.
Ram Cummins diesels, sure, but we deal with diesels in general that work hard, not pavement princesses.
An example. Thousands of hours on terrible roads and thousands of idle hours.
Ecodiesels were pretty bad, no doubt.
Working at a Ram dealership, I don't see new crate engines waiting to be put into Ram 1500's at all.
Hemi or the Hurricane.
However, on a visit to the local Toyota store 2 weeks ago this is what I saw in the customer service drive in bays.
I have found that the Costco K cups may break and spill grounds into your coffee with this model.
The fix that I have found works, is to set the K cup into the bottom spike before closing the lid which has the top spike.
We took a Tesla model 3 in on trade in February. We auction EVs. And we don't have the time to put everything on a lift before listing it for auction. There was undisclosed underbody damage by the owner. It went to arbitration. We lost and relisted it with full disclosure. And sold it last week...
If you see the steel belts, its not the retread that failed. The whole tire failed, usually due to loss of tire pressure. Had a tour of a retread facility, they seemed to take their role in making a safe retread tire seriously. Admittedly a sample of one.
Just happened to drop off my RAV4 today at the local Toy dealer for the end of 7 year ECP warranty inspection.
Look what I happened to see in the customer drive in bay.
These will likely be my next tires for my 2019 RAV4.
My OE Michelin Primacy are aging and getting quite noisy at about 30,000 miles.

I did my 2019 RAV4 Hybrid on the weekend. 4 rotors and new pads all around. Similar wear seen with one side pad wear double the other. First brake job at 52,000 miles. Used these. $275 USD delivered overnight. Seem to work well after a few days of driving...
