petrol

It's like a racecar driver who's team lets him run out of petrol every two laps. this is basic stuff, kiddies.

A diesel or petrol engine will max torque further up it's power band. This means these large machines are much easier to get moving.

A phone call from PG could be like adding petrol to fire, even if he is genuine and wants to help. What this lady needs is to have one point of interaction with a single person at Airbnb.

The Stig is not really "half man, half machine with petrol running through his veins". And a race against a jet or helicopter is not a realistic test of auto performance.

This post completely reflect my thoughts on the whole saga - but there's one more thing which sticks out for me, something briefly touched upon in this article: filling up a petrol car to do 500+ miles takes <5 minutes. Charging a Model S to do 500 miles takes over 2 hours.

Where the refineries should go, where the oil is best sourced, how the petrol products are best distributed are all important questions that the oil industry is well placed to help answer. Not dictate of course but their opinion should matter.

To me, the most surprising part is: Holy fuck, Audi's have huge petrol tanks! I usually fill up my reasonably priced car in like a minute or so and it gets a range of some 700 kilometers on a ~40 liter gas tank. 5 minutes for a petrol stop?

A simple rule of thumb for fast food, petrol stations and other "drive by" businesses is that they will position themselves on the side of the road dominated by "homeward" traffic. Most folk in the morning are anxious to get to work on time.

All they had to do was say, The Nissan does a good job of warning you not to run low on charge, but we all know how often people in the real world ignore the out of petrol warning on their cars and run out of fuel. Lets see what happens if we ignore the warnings and try to drive to Lincolnshire anyways.

Some of the stretches further East of Mildura run 100-200km without petrol stations and supplies. A number of the national parks in those areas are unmanned and irregularly visited, and there can be long periods even on sealed roads where you might not sight another car in an hour of driving.

People still die in plane crashes, car crashes, complications due to surgeries, etc And of course nobody died in the petrol extraction->refining->distribution->thermal power plants process.

If what they want to do is say that petrol is more convenient because you can get gas even if youre a complete idiot, they can make that point easily and entertainingly without deception.

Or "making a petrol||diesel||electric car is supporting a walled garden!" Where an operating system only allows you to run programs that the makers of that OS approve, then it is a walled garden, and writing software for it certainly is supporting a walled garden. > "making a petrol||diesel||electric car is supporting a walled garden!"

He says he finds it cheaper to buy drums of water from a petrol station and pay a sanitation company about $14 a month to remove waste from his "porta-potty" than pay the combined sewer and water rate bill, which some months can reach $300. What really happens at the very end after all of the brouhaha about derivatives, crooked politics, and mortgage disasters?

An easy-reading overview of the same idea is Luis Bettencourt's paper with West, recently published in Nature, which points out that "doubling the population of any city requires only about an 85% increase in infrastructure, whether that be total road surface, length of electrical cables, water pipes or number of petrol stations. This systematic 15% savings happens because, in general, creating and operating the same infrastructure at higher densities is more efficient, more economically viable, and often leads to higher-quality services and solutions that are impossible in smaller places."

I mean, imagine a review of the first petrol engined cars, a few years after initial conception. Musk should be constantly reminding people that problems will happen, and this is the beginning of decades of development and evolution, while motoring petrol head journalists need to stop trying to pretend Musk is selling a perfect petrol car replacement, and that it is indeed work in progress at a relatively early stage. To me it is clear that the Tesla car is still problematic, but it is also clear that its improving at a decent rate. In a decade, I imagine the whole system will work flawlessly, ish. Sadly all I see are two camps, Musk supporters and petrol heads almost raging at each other like political parties, while Musk stirs it, resulting in non partisan parties look on aghast, keeping wallets well closed.
