Great project, nice to see a government lead the way.
That's new to me. Do you have any reference regarding the SI system being the official US measurement system?
Ironically, you are not making any engineering sense. The engine's temperature will depend on the quantity of energy used to heat it (wether...
I know it won't void the warranty. I'm just not interested in arguing with a dealer and taking the necessary legal steps to force him to perform...
rolling resistance, tire width and tire pressure are probably affecting FE more than rim and tire weight. I go from my spring-summer-fall alloy...
The caricature probably aims at the recently produced Chevy Tahoe Hybrid. Also in 2009 GM has anounced the production of the full size pick-up...
The idea is interesting. Supply might be an issue.

Expect the future Chevy Volt to yell loudly "The Volt is not a hybrid! It's an electric car! The ICE is just a range extender!" Also, I think...
Syco, you did that yourself or went to an installer? dpoole, if you were having trouble getting the warranty honored because of that, how hard...
Heat pumps work until a treshold temperature is reached. For example, in most residential applications, heat pumps work at -15 deg C and above....
Cobrakid... yeah a remote starter is easier. It's still fun to consider alternatives, and I was especially interested in considering electrical...
Syco, how do you run the extension cord to your 900W AC heater? The widest spot I could find was the hatch door, along the upper lip, but it...
Syco, You found an AC timer can output 1300W (900W heater 400W EBH) ? I had a hard time finding one that could stand 1000W. Regarding the...
12V heaters: -Only 100W output. I simulated 100W heating by leaving a 100W lightbulb in a drop light on all night in the car. The cabin temp was 3...
