[Good Green Cars] Good Green Cars · Competition to Build a Zero-Emissions Snowmobile: The goal for the zero-emissions category is even more specific: make a snowmobile that won’t skew the research being done at Summit Station in Greenland. Scientists there are working to understand the absorption of atmospheric gases by the ice cap, and any emissions from fossil fuels burned at the site can mess up the results of their measurements.

[Jeep Forums] 2 stroke engine? - Four Wheeler Forums at Four Wheeler Magazine: (it would be interesting to read marine emission standards for 2 stroke engines vs other uses too) This class of engines has come under emission control in recent years and it standards will tighten. Right now they are making a big deal how clean new diesel are with new fuel and this is true but it because they were so dirty in some areas before and as clean as they are they are still a lot "dirtier" the gas motors in a lot of ways and a diesel that meets 2008 standards is not going to meet 2013 ones.

The 100mpg ...: Also a charge time under 5 minutes is about the same as an average person spends fuelling a car and paying for it, which makes forecourt charging of electric cars a real possibility. Other people have suggested that the batteries could be interchangeable at gas stations (take out the flat one, put in a charged one) but personally I could never see this working for everything from warranty reasons to the customised location, shape, make and capacity of batteries.

[GM FastLane] Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before”¦ | GM FastLane: I think everyone at GM had better look in the Mirror and ask themselves.What can I do to make this car company succeed.First off the big perception is LACK OF QUALITY.I think coming out with longer warranties (10yrs) will help address this but also FORCE everybody to make a better product.Second The dealership experience.Iam very happy with the present dealership but man there were some that you scratch your head and wonder.I beleave GM suffers from to many dealerships.To many owners trying to make money and alot of the time there burning there customers to make a profit.Thirdly Loved those E85 commercials this is something you have got to gain control of Exxonmobil had what a 36 billion dollar profit margin.People will say ethanol isnt as good as gasoline but hay the first rockets made werent as good either.You can get better at it.No 4 Build about 50 to 100 concept camaros jazz them up with fancy paint and striping and CREATE A EVENT.Have the cars go around to every Dealer and Mallcenter and serve hot dogs and hamburgers and talk about how GM is committed to making high quality eye popping products and please fast track this car it will help you.No5 Get the best possible deal from the UAW both Management and Workers futures are at stake some how some way get the delphi problem figured out its a eye sore.No6 It was of big amusement that I read Oil companies which made tens of billions of dollars in profits also will have to pay no royalties for getting that oil from Uncle Sams Land but the bigger question is what is GM doing to get research and development monies from uncle sam.Everything from E85,Hybrids,New lighter material can be helped with by Uncles Sams Wallet be more aggressive in securing monies from Uncle Sam.

[GM-VOLT : Chevy Volt Electric Car Site] How the Volt's 230 MPG Designation was Calculated | GM-VOLT ...: For the fuel engine, that is already established, the amount the fuel tank holds with the amount of fuel burned in the engine gives you your range. The same can be calculated for the electrical side, the charge held by the batteries (70% worth as the gas moter kicks in at around 30% charge), the power used by the electrical motor.

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum | Drumbeat: May 1, 2009: Yeah, back in the day the local fire department did a demonstration at some event or other (It was either a snowmobile race or a demolition derby) what I do accurately remember was 1 gallon of gasoline in a shallow pan, burning quite nicely became a huge fireball when the firefighters hit it with the stream from a fire hose.

[The Lab] Bare Necessity Truck « The Lab: Nice idea but I believe that the current midsized trucks like the Colorado can get the fuel economy without so much of the sacrifice. For instance it seems like the moveable bulk head would have to be very light/thin meaning even more road noise (a GM trade mark) so why sacrifice a comfortable quite’ish ride for the sake of a louder movable bulk head when everyone has seen an aluminum bed extender, which I believe, makes the bed longer, how about a tailgate that telescopes combined with a bed extender to get the additional length.
