I wonder when Trump will start marketing Trump Kool-Aid.
The new-car features (NCF) manual will not help you on this, as it doesn’t discuss owner-operating details like in the owner’s manual. The owner’s...

Actually, the tire-pressure monitoring systems (TMPSs) in general have an accuracy of about 1%, which is better than any cheap tire gauge, which...
That is a tad bit high but OK. I use 43 psi front and 42 psi rear in my Gen 4 PHEV, which is I think just about optimal for fuel economy and tire...
