Long Term Cost of Ownership Hybrid/Electric

With the Subaru yes for sure, on cruise control on the highway it sips fuel.. and I’ve said before I think that transmissions is straight up witchcraft with how well it does from 95-120s
-I babied it up one time and I think it did 850kms off 50L.

And I had a gladiator for a bit and it was excellent on cruise control, near 25% better economy.

With The diesels cruise control doesn’t seem to do much for economy. If anything it gears up too soon and then when you do need to speed up you have up hit higher rpms on the downshift I guess it’s to spool up a bit? Not sure. But no huge benefit like the NA petrols

There’s a Venezuelan guy who does thorough and proper battery testing on Facebook and TT, small fee and he’ll test the batteries. If massy would allow it, I think it’ll be a good thing

I read about the EU passing a law a while ago on how electric cars are now required to produce loud enough generated noise for pedestrian safety once they're above a certain speed. Looks like the NHTSA in USA is doing the same.

So all cars manufactured ahead will be fitted with speaker exhausts and audio micro-processors which will soon be hacked and reprogrammed to output some weird stuff. Unless the law states that they cannot be modified.

I actually saw a cat walk across in front one. He lived for about 3 days, by the time I found the owner he had just passed.

There was a mod on pimp my ride over 10 years ago...where they connect some flabbergastery to the sound system and you could choose to make your car sound like any thing u wanted...down to a helicopter lol
