>They need to come up with a better technology name than "Junkers".< When the inventor of the design happens to be named Junkers, all you can say is he doesn't have a name that translates well into English. Junkers was a very well respected name in aircraft, but like most of the European aircraft industry they got swept up into EADS.

My previous car (Dodge Neon, 5 speed) got 40 MPG in the summer.

Liked your post (11/17/12), but you're being too hard on yourself: "gas hog [at 30mpg]?"

If pulling a true 30 is a gas hog, we need MORE of them on our roads!

Care to be buddies?

Your link on Global warming from the Wall Street Journal in dead.
I want to read it.

Great article from R-squared on oil reserves, one of the best I have ever seen posted, thanks!

Please become my NEWEST Gas Buddy.

Thanks for pointing out my huge error on "Peak Coal as Early as 2025". Apparently I temporarily lost my mind. I added a posted reply to you there as well. Take care!

I just saw your comment on this week's poll. I wish I had seen it earlier -- next week's poll will probably focus on what to do to avoid similar problems and your suggestion is spot on.

A slightly belated 4th of July to you! Not enough time to send a greeting out to everyone! I missed everyone on MySpace completely! Feel bad about that! Good gas saving tips too! People can easily get 20 to 40% better mileage, and I'll get better than most of the best put together! I wish I had the money to modify a Prius, Insight or Fusion or even a Charger, Buick Regal Turbo [1987 model mind you] or others the way I'd like to. I'd easily get over 180 mpg out of most of the hybrids.
