Why your pickup becomes less fuel efficient during the winter months
Have you noticed lately that you don’t get quite the miles on a tank of gas as you were a few months ago? Don’t worry. It’s not something wrong with the engine that’s short-changing those miles per gallon. The mileage robber is “winter-blend” gasoline. Refineries are mandated by the EPA to switch to less-volatile gasoline in the summer […]

E-10 Alive: The corrosive damage ethanol gasoline does to your fuel pump
Looking at the fuel pump in the photo, how old would you say it is? Its a nearly-new fuel pump from a 2003 Harley Davidson with just 11,000 miles on it. How could that much corrosion happen on a motorcycle before it’s third oil change? According to my mechanic it’s ethanol in our gasoline. To […]

Fossil-fueled vehicles better for environment than electric?
Over the 4th of July weekend—while you were busy polluting the air with your holiday grilling—you might have missed this well-documented piece on the environmental effects of the electric car, called “Unclean at any speed.” It does a good job of eviscerating what is now a lie so commonly told that most people believe it: […]

Supreme Court declines to hear challenge of EPA’s approval of E15

Why don’t Americans like diesel automobiles?
A diesel car will not blow black smoke clouds anymore. But odds are you probably still don’t want one. Why? In Britain, diesel engines make up half of the cars sold. And that’s a low figure for Europe.  But here, well, diesels are sort of unchic. But why? According to this BBC report European drivers […]
