3: 21 my girlfriend was a manager for hertz they don't do the oil changes themselves they normally have a contract with a local shop that does all maintenance on their cars. She told me the reason people sometimes end up with cars that have a maintenance light on is that it's a hand me down from another store. See managers trade cars between hertz stores to get the cars they need to fill any new contracts they start. What some stores will do is pawn off a car that needs some kind of maintenance to another hertz store that needs that car. Why? simple because they have to pay out of the bottom line for that branch to do the maintenance so instead of wasting their branches money they pawn it off to the next branch that needs that car. The bottom line of that branch matters because it influences what type of bonus pay the store gets.

Ethanol is a miracle fuel for high performance turbocharged engines. I have a 2020 Supra and live in California where premium fuel is 91 octane. As a result boost and resultant engine output are knock-limited. Enter e85. e85 is 105+ octane. It's like 1. 85 race fuel. I uploaded a custom tune to my ECU, or, in German terms (Toyota/BMW), my DME to run optimally on E50 (51% E85/49% normal E10. As a result boost and ignition timing can be increased such that horsepower is increased from 335 to 450plus. This causes a definite pucker in the butt dyno.

Um, don t people get in an out of cars at auto shows? Are you suggesting that people do that in the middle of a deadly global pandemic? Dummy. Why would you go if you couldn t sit behind the wheel? Or should every car interior be completely disinfected before someone else can sit behind the wheels. Seems like a ridiculously inefficient way to conduct an auto show. I can look at all the free images of the exterior of all the cars I want from the safety and convenience of my home.

Get rid of ethanol completely as notorious for damaging engines and make 98 octane non ethanol fuel available like we have in Australia. We can still use the cheap n nasty e10 blend but only use 98 octane as get a cleaner running more fuel efficient engine. Better to use quality fuel then import mega litres of engine damaging ethanol from Brazil like we do at the moment. Could not pay me enough money to use e10 even if is cheap as you get what you pay for.

NO! The car show sellers DID figure it out. A big city with a lot of rich people to come to an exclusive expensive collectables sale with auction excitement & big man contests in a crowd and next thing you know the cars actually sell and they get more money from the frenzy atmosphere they could never repeat online. They can't move easily from the setups in place without making their profits go down by the expenses of change.

I tend to run E85 in my Yukon in the warmer months and E15 otherwise. Smells better at the tailpipe. I watch the prices and know what gas stations near me are more price competitive. Near me there's a 55 cent price difference for E85. Here in Minnesota there a quite a few stations that carry it and it's more American than what we import. I understand a lot of folks don't like it, but hey more regular gas for you then.

The V12 engines were designed for GMC semi trucks. They were basically 2 GMC V6 truck engine cast together. Some trucking companies wanted gasoline trucks. These engine put out about 275 horsepower and about 600 foot pounds of torque. They were made in the early 60s. Theses engines were not intended for Cadillacs. Scotty had some bad information or did not due his homework

LOL, when you started talking about V-12's in a Jag and how they were pieces of junk, I immediately thought of the no-go showboat, the XKE. One of the most beautiful cars ever made, but they were in the shop every week. I would never buy a Jag, unless I lived in Kentucky and wanted to drive it once a year to the Derby just to look good.

Reminds me of a California Highway Patrol car that I looked into years ago. The driver controlled the compressor manually. The switch had an extra placard that said, Engage below 40. Disengage above 100. As for Hertz rental cars: Reminds me of the Ford Mustang GT350H. I heard many funny stories about engine swaps in and out of those rentals.
