I ran two 2003 Honda civic 5 speed manual trans cars, Starting in 2005 the first car got no less then 55mpg for at least 200, 000 miles if driven properly, This first car I bought with 16, 000 miles ran it to just over 300, 000m, I then bought a car out of Saint Louis MI, Where the heat must have Neg effected the Hy batteries, it had 145, 000m ran it to about 289, 000m. I now run two 2005 special edition 1. 7 L cars because I love the Power over fuel mileage, running my automatic with 202, 504mi on it still gets around 39miles per gallon running it hard with the Cruze set at 79miles per hour for 500 miles and a little City driving, by the way one way had a strong 20 m p h wind, I was running 91 octane ethanol free gas.

Not so simple an analogy for VW and EVs. first VW has a bad image problem and reputation of poor quality. Second, batteries are the new commodity. You can't make millions of cars without billions of batteries. This is what took Tesla so long to reach 1 million cars, there is a real battery constraint in the world. LG Chem can't supply the ICE manufacturers at the volumes of Tesla.
Third, the EVs need a comprehensive charging network to support over 1 million vehicles per year. VW nor any other competitor has that. A huge Achilles heel. Tesla wisely invested in the Supercharger Network, the ACE up the sleeve. And Tesla doesn't gouge the owners at the chargers like 3rd party networks like the ones VW happen to own.

I once left my car running when I got to work. I must have been running late that day but after an 8 hour shift i'm walking out to my car and I notice I dont have my keys on me. Thinking I hope I left them in the car and as I approach I see the car is not only running but the radio is even on. Holy cow! I think. Did I actually jump out of my car and leave it running in park for 8 hours? A 4 cylinder Hyundai Elantra. Went through an 8th of a tank in eight ours sitting in park

Hey Scotty, I recently purchased a 2017 Ford Focus RS with 24, 000 miles on it. It was a certified pre owned car with 7 year/100, 000 mile warranty on it. I noticed that my floor mat was wet on the driver side, I took the floor mat out and a small spot on the carpet was wet as well. I m really worried that there might be a hole in the floor, and if there is do you think Ford should fix this for free? If you can give me an answer I would really appreciate it, thank you.

I believe the stop/start was developed to help lower emissions as well as fuel consumption. At least here in the UK cars with lower emissions are taxed less which means big cars with big engines aren't penalised as much although the law has been changed recently. anyway I disable the start/stop whenever I remember. For me its stops the engine at the lights obviously but then the lights always change to green immediately which is super annoying!

Hey Scotty, been watching your videos for a while and was wondering if you could do a full review on a 2015 Hyundai Sonata SE. I m 25 and it s my 1st car, I got it at the end of 2017 certified used from DriveTime with 38505 miles and it s just about to get to 60000 miles. What s your take on the car? I m young and tryna learn as much about cars and my car specifically. I feel like every guy should know something up under the hood of a car

Scotty. the start stop issue. isn't it true that the wear occurs at cold start up? If the Engine is shutting down for a short period, such as in a traffic jam or stop light and the engine is at operating temperature, that wear is almost non-existent on restart? Some manufacturers actually have the engine stop with a piston at TDC and a spark to that chamber will start the engine without using the starter at all. What are you thoughts?

I like the locomotive idea. Having a heavy duty powerful electric drive system, that instead of getting its electricity from batteries it gets it from a small diesel engine chugging away. Then just a smaller light battery to store some excess in case the diesel engine ever runs out of fuel or something. I just picture a small pick up truck like a Dakota or Ranger, with all wheel electric drive and a tiny diesel generator.

Hey, Scott, why are you so anti-Tesla.
The main reason Tesla was started was to stop using fossil fuels for personal transportation. A hybrid car still uses fossil fuel to assist the battery to go a distance longer than just a short trip. And now many public service agencies are finding that the Tesla cars require approx 5, 000 to 7, 000 dlls less for maintenance costs year by year.
