    for 'smaller' vehicles it'd be like comparing the 4.3L v6 to a 3.5L dohc (or sohc) v6. or his theoretical ohv 3.6L v6 with ~280hp to a 2.2-2.5L I4 Turbo. oh how i do kinda wish for a resurgence of wagons that could use engines like these for the hard working grocery getter/smaller toy pulling.

    reg, i was curious too, quick estimations put the previous km/L ----into mpg was ~37+ ...was that mostly city? my monte got 37mpg 1 time , while mostly in indiana, if the pump was right.

    this would hurt the poor. because budgeting long term is harder to plan for. i agree the fuel tax should be a % instead of a flat rate, but that's where inflation will hurt the poor AGAIN. the bad thing is, milage out side of the state is still charged to you. so this, at face value has 1 huge drawback. ...it's like income tax and sales tax... living in that state you get dinged 2x. a gas tax is the best way to solve this. and if plug ins get more popular... ding them on their energy bill tax rates.....?

    if it does come with the 3.6L option, ...that seems silly.. unless they're keeping the 4.3L for something else? seems silly to make it only for the full size trucks. am i right?

    the cav z24 came to mind also. but that was a CIB engine, not an OHC. same mentality as the muscle car, if it fits, put it in and sell it.

    abs system... as in it's upgraded, or it's standard... just seems so wierd to see that in list of modifications.

    loki replied to FAPTurbo's topic in The Lounge

    because the elected are somehow supposed to be not human in their failings?

    any powertrain surprises in there for the 'standard of the world'?

    new camaro at a local dealership., a coworker showed a pic of a car carrier going through town with ~5-6 corvettes. he was behind it for a little

    curious about the cost. my rear side markers on my monte(red lens) corroded away several years ago (sockets) thought about replacing them, but... eh

    will we see a 6L+ atkinson cycle iForce in the tundra? haha

    smk, the tahoe, subie ->escalade...none of them will use the 4.3L ecotec3, which is rated at.. 24mpg? with a 6-speed in the silvy.... somewhat apples and oranges... trucks vs SUVs a coworker put a dura max in his suburban, has gotten ~22mpg at best he said. but it can tow anything allday and not drop to what his ford box truck gets no matter what. i can see downsizing the 'max somewhat(mid 5L?) and slapping an 8speed to it and the true outdoorsy types would buy up the (limited) supply. think the 2nd gen 2-mode (or the like) will be beefy enough for the 6.2L, or will it just be offered with the' 6.0L like performance' 5.3L from the first gen? an interesting offering would be the 4.3L -2mode combo for the trucks... OH idea, baby 'max and 2 mode. Eco-Max! in anything truck/suv.

    found the nexus 4 website... if only i was aware... 16gb for 250... noice! but sold out.
  15. loki
    ok. i'll have to keep an eye out for it.

    I'd wait and see what the next Google Nexus device is like before making a purchase. It should launch in October. Rumours have it pegged for a 1080p display, 13MP camera and LTE. It'd be far more modern than the S3, with fast updates and a better UI. sounds like a reason the S3 should drop in price again....i don't need bleeding edge...

    politics will always have their field days with facts. should political(elected) entities have this power over education? math would be hard to indoctrinate something different and still make sense. language would be too, unless the parents/community only spoke...Klingon(or something else like that) around the child. unless word meanings were misused, which is often done i think.

    i'm thinking of getting a real smart phone in november... looking at pay as you go, picking up an S3, parlty because i've used it before.... with a price tag of ~$400. would anyone recommend something else?

    speaking of hybrids.... will gm's 2-mode have a 2nd gen?
  20. loki
    facts are facts, but interpretation is available for anyone. teaching facts is about memorization, while critical thinking must mean that indoctrination must be kicked out the door before that happens. and what is public education but the door open for indoctrination?

    ohiotom, HI! do you propose making home schooling illegal? do you dislike parochial schools?

  23. loki
    i think the GMC is kinda bland. the chevy is better, but still not masculine like the trucks. interior is nice.
