Hi, I am lookign for this- anyone know of any dealer with it in stock? by Lori Dixon posted on Monday, August 08, 2011

seen the engines they are pnittug into those things?you can get an f150 with over 400hp.===============================You can get an infinti Hybrid with over 600 HP, what is the point?I don't think there is any point in saying the car fleet hasn't improeved in economy becasue we are selling more trucks.I can tell you, my trucks don't go anywhere, unless they have work to do. The mission for my trucks and my hybrid are entirely different.Americans do like big vehicles and big engines, but they don;t kike $50 fillups.maybe more trucks are being sold because the unemployed are are starting up service businesses, and existin businesses are finally buying new ones (depreciation schedule?)Recently I complained to my coworkers that teh cold weather had reduced the mpg on my car. When I told them it was down to 48, they just stared at me. "tell me about it, I'm only getting 28."But even 28 is a lot better than 17.Like everything else, Americans want big cars aqnd big engines, but they want them for free.Another thing I see happening, is people downsizing their trucks. Whee you used to see an F350 pulling a stock trailier or mini excavator, now it is often a dangerously overloaded f150. Ask the guy at your trailer hitch store if he has seen any horror stories waiting to happen. by Medhat posted on Friday, September 18, 2015
Well I'm not sure ho
Well I'm not sure how the natural gas price is ofesttfing the price of gasoline...Consider the following wee bit of hyperbole from Zer0 Hedge: Part it is obviously due to somewhat better performance of cars...From the article: 'Retail gasoline deliveries, already well below 1980 levels, have absolutely fallen off a cliff. Is the plunge inventory-related, i.e. are storage facilities so full that retailers are simply putting off deliveries?Though I don't have data on hand to support this, I know from one of my correspondents who is in the gasoline distribution/delivery business that gasoline is very much a "just in time" commodity: gas stations are often close to running out of fuel when they get a delivery. Stations aren't holding huge quantities of surplus gasoline; that's not how the business works.Given the absence of "extra storage" in gas stations (and the fact that the number of gas stations has fallen dramatically since 1980), it is reasonable to conclude that retail delivery is largely a function of demand, i.e. gasoline consumption.Even if you dismiss the recent plunge as an outlier, the declines in retail gasoline deliveries are mind-boggling. If you look at the data from 1983 to 2011 on the link above, you will note that delivery declines align with recessions'...From Trading Economics site (price chart from Jan 2000 to Feb 2012): ...From Gas Buddy price chart for the for both the US and Canada... by Juliette posted on Friday, September 18, 2015

"better performace of cars"....You know rjs if the aotuhr of this piece knows what he's talking about, performance improvements plays a relatively small part in the overall consumption...Obviously there are small cars today that get great milage in the real world...When I was in college back in the late sixties and early seventies I drove a '66 four door Ford Fairlane with a big eight in it...If my memory is still intact the Fairlane's milage (remember that gasoline had a higher octane count back then) was on par with the 15 to 16 miles/gallon I'm now getting with my '02 Astro van..."cultural change among the young, who now text & play video games instead of cruise the strip & drag race"...Now that is a very interestng point and a point that if my lifestyle is anything near normal for today falls in line with...That would've been an interesting facet to attempt to quantify for these gasoline consumption articles... by Fener posted on Friday, September 18, 2015

, juandos, bteetr performace of cars, also a cultural change among the young, who now text & play video games instead of cruise the strip & drag race...Sorry but I don't buy the bteetr performance argument. First, if you look at sales you will find that the best performing segment is trucks, not small, efficient vehicles. Second, if you look at the fleet you will find that it is getting older. That means less efficient vehicles are kept around longer. I believe that the number of miles driven has collapsed because the real economy has contracted beyond what the BLS is reporting. People stay home because they can't afford to go out as much as they did. The nominal figures that are reported show gains but that comes from higher prices that are somehow adjusted away, not a greater volume of food being consumed. by Rasooljan posted on Friday, September 18, 2015
juandos-vangel is ri
juandos-vangel is right about the cars.5 of the top 10 sellers in the us are pikcup trucks and suv's with the ford f series being the leader by a mile.the average MPG of the US fleet has done pretty much nothing since the 70's.it was 16.9 in 1991. in 2006, 17.2.this is not wildly different that the 14mpg in 1923.you may be mistaking fuel efficiency of a new model year for the fleet as a whole.no matter the endless attempts by government to up mileage, americans just like big engines and big cars.trucks are the new muscle cars.seen the engines they are putting into those things?you can get an f150 with over 400hp.that used to be the realm of ferraris.efficiency is going toward more power and fairly constant mileage.prius has sold 1mm cars in 12 years.even at current depressed levels ford f series trucks sell 500k a year, outselling priuses 6:1.that's why the mileage in the US fleet is going nowhere. by Ariandari posted on Friday, September 18, 2015
Oil consumption has
Oil consumption has been fillang n Japan and Europe for decades, and now has started a long secular decline in the USA also. The only event that could revive USA demand is much lower prices. Even then, maybe not, as Congress has passed stricter CAFE standards (I prefer gasoline taxes, but what is, is). The hope of the oil world is that China and India use a lot more. They may, but then they may mandate other fuels, such as natural gas, or PHEVs. We may have seen Peak Demand already. by Heavenly posted on Friday, September 18, 2015

Is it sensible in your condition? Have you got any other choice? There Isn't Any Need To Panic Banks could have tightened their lending standards thanks to the latest monetary disaster.

Still looks new 10+ years later!
Moved into a house in 2009 where a previous homeowner had installed this in their kitchen. We left it in place, it's 10+ years later, and still looks good - despite all the dropped items, food and liquid spills, multiple dogs, cats and kids running through the kitchen. Although it's obvious that it's a laminate when seeing it in person, I'm impressed on how well it's held up through the years. by Harriet posted on Thursday, October 10, 2019
