Maybe this just means pushrod V-8's make sense. How can the Focus RS be lighter and less powerful, yet get worse MPG? To be fair, About +1 MPG is due to the 2016 Camaro's 8-speed automatic vs. 6 ratios on the Focus. About +1 MPG is due to the 2016 Camaro's cylinder deactivation. About +1 MPG...

Are strobing LED daytime running lamps on passenger car/truck/suv vehicles legal? Saw my first one today on a Dodge Ram pu. They are annoying, thats for sure. Man I hope this isn't a trend.

Just got the Feb 2016 issue. On the cover, I haven't read the story yet. Thing is, they have already been saying recently that the new 2016 Camaro beats the current Mustang, so ..... Camaro beats them both? (Camaro has the same engine as the Corvette, etc.)

The Product Tech Sheet is only a couple of weeks old. Startling they aren't using the 0w-40s of the world. Small HTHS! Is this the first time IndyCars will be using 0w-20? http://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/FusionPDS.nsf/Files/818A3CC62AF7707E80257F08002FB096/$File/BPXE-A4LD8K.pdf

"Volkswagen of America has their head in the sand," Steve Kalafer said. "It's not just going to be another incentive or another bonus that gets Volkswagen out of this. It's going to be the dealers who get Volkswagen out of this. The reputation of Volkswagen is spiraling towards worthlessness."...

SuperTanker parking lot in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere! Its my fault, I just got an electric car and hybrid, waiting to gloat when prices go up later, but not now. Anyway, if you haven't seen this, it seems like a rare condition. Enjoy it while you can...

Seems odd BMW Motorsports endorses/uses an oil that doesn't have any Euro-specs. Pennzoil Ultra 0w-40. Great oil racing commercial though!

The best way to reduce your MPG is to not use gasoline. Wow, this 2016 Ford Focus Electric (pictures later) is amazing. Bought it yesterday because of : 1. http://www.caranddriver.com/ford/focus-electric over the Nissan Leaf I considered too. 2. $12,500 in government $$$ (federal + state) 3...

Yeah its true Atkinson cycles are all the rage for hybrids, and Mazda did a Miller Cycle in the late '90's, yet why is Toyota just now getting around to them in other vehicles, and other car companies not using this trick at all? VVT and a computer is about all you need to implement it. And...

" Such a high energy density would be comparable to that of gasoline -- " --- http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/10/151029152629.htm It just got interesting. (Great, I just bought a Li-Ion based hybrid too, and its already obsolete. )

The dealerships are getting diesels off their lots, being bought back by VW. Owners? Out of luck. http://www.autonews.com/article/20151030/VIDEO/310309938/autonews-now-vw-to-offer-diesel-buybacks

I just bought a Ford C-Max hybrid yesterday, so I'm thinking about either using Magnatec or Mazda Genuine 0w-20 in it. Will probably change the factory fill at 1k miles. Any consensus on whether tons of moly in the oil helps the rings slip around & flex in their grooves and fills the...

Why hasn't this been done sooner? A big asteroid hitting earth is kinda a big deal you'd think. I guess we're too busy trying to clean up terrorist atrocities around the world that we're not focusing on actual planetary defense. "The robotic mission also will demonstrate planetary defense...

Saw this last night. Should be called "Sick-ario" cuz of the first scenes. Who would put those in the walls of a house? I know this is supposed to be a near-future result of the border wars, yet, wow, that is obscenely insane. Even for the nut crowd trafficking. The movie is overall pretty...

Anybody know about how oil can affect intake valve deposits on DI engines? Illustration: Crankcase has H2O, C02, C0, N2, NOx, O2, fuel, OIL, etc. in it. This gets routed around to the intake manifold. FWIW, Ecoboost intake valve deposits were blamed on placement of PCV entry to intake...

Anybody know why many Honda and Toyota engines have so little Fe iron ppm on UOA's? They usually beat other makes by a factor of 2. Here is just one example: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3864940/Re:_PU_5w30,_10,700_miles,_200#Post3864940 I can't tell they are...

Any theories as to what is on fire or smoking on this Ferrari? Picture is from http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2015/9/13/IN...orhood-7729235/ a bunch of rich Arabs terrorizing some neighborhood streets in California.

There are silicone greases and rubber good for high temperatures. Has anyone ever heard of silicone motor oil? No hydrocarbons in it. Does silicone oil mix well with hydrocarbon oils?
