Horses have tailpipe emissions too. And just wait until the California Air Resources Board bans the Bean Burrito.....

If somebody wants to drive an electric car for whatever reason that's cool with me. I just ask that they don't act all morally superior because they do. Electricity doesn't come from a wall outlet, for the most part, it comes from burning fossil fuel. An electric car just harnesses the energy in a d...

CNG and LNG are the same fuel in different forms. CNG has very low range as a motor fuel but LNG which is Natural Gas compressed to the point where it becomes liquid is very usable as a motor fuel. It's also very clean.

For clarification: By "LNG", are you referring to "Liquefied Natural Gas"? If so, if everyone in the world starts using it then how long will it be abundant? Falco. Well that's certainly a good question and if everybody started using it the price would likely go up as well. But ...

Another interesting aspect is our American cousin's approach to fossil fuel consumption; I thought that energy self reliance and conservation was becoming politically important, and yet the vast majority of vehicles I saw motoring at these high speeds were SUVs and full-size pickups. How anyone can...

Yes.

I'm curious, why not LNG?

It's cheap, it's relatively clean and there is an abundance of it all over the world it seems. Isn't the world asking for clean, affordable and abundant energy source?

You wont like I-15 in Utah, the limit is 85 MPH in places. I drive truck all over the US and lots in the west. Because I'm in it for the money, I try to keep my fuel bill reasonable and that often means going slower than than the flow of traffic. 56-59 if there's a headwind and 65 if there's a tail ...

OK, adding a clean oil to your fuel in hopes that it will be of some benefit is one thing, (not convinced) but adding used engine oil to a fuel system, thinking you are doing something good for your engine? The oil was judged too dirty to remain in the crankcase (that's why you changed it) so now it...

Interesting thread. I don't own a Delica, but sure like them and all vans in general, except for (soccer mom type) mini vans. I have owned 4 large bore Diesels and estimate to have burned about 400,000 US gallons over the last 2,000,000 miles. I've never lost an injector or fuel pump for any reason ...

I like your cars. Your choice of beer...not so much, but as you said, variety...

Also, lay off the coffee, other than your usuall whatever that you would normally have. I have my 2-3 cups at breakfast and water the rest of the day. Water does not make you pee more frequently and generally helps your body function.

Get your sleep. Seriously. You need to figure out when the best time to sleep is and then make time for it. I get up between 00:30 & 02:00 all week and force myself to be in bed by 18:30 even though there is still a lot of "life" going on. I used Melatonin at first but find I rarely ne...

Hi all, I love vans of all kinds and currently have a 12 passenger E350 Ford that suits my needs very well. I take it down FSR's all the time and it has about 12" of ground clearance at its lowest point, a LSD and all terrains, but it's not 4WD. I could convert it, but our mini van is on it's l...

There is no replacement for cubic dollars.
