Why Fort Collins CO? Do you know....Main Street Fort Collins looks like Main Street Disneyland because the Disneyland architect copied Ft. Collins as a "typical American Main Street" in 1955. Just think.... If you drove 60 mph you could go 250 miles more. And if you drove 55 mph you could go...

Too much twang. I had to stop 5 seconds in.

Corn is used for the same reason diesel Is used in trucks. 125 years of established infrastructure. Plus corn is easy to store. And with uniformly sized kernels, it is easy to flow and transport in pipes, chutes, grain elevators, funnels, doors, gates, conveyors, mixers, grinders, tanks and...

Continuing.... Parked 8 hours after charging to 99-100%. Came out to this: Charging 12 amps starting at 87%. Tapered down quickly and stopped at: Stayed at 89% and 14.4 to 14.5 volts for the next 1 hour. Voltage never dropped to 12.8. But charging current was either zero or too little to...

Flaring occurs "mostly" when something breaks down / shuts down. The refinery has momentum. Like a moving train. If there is a hiccup, a derailment in the middle, flaring is better than spilling stuff on the ground. It's controlled chaos. See also "pressure relief valve".

Because we add .9 cent per gallon shouldn't you Canucks be adding .2 cent per liter? Maybe have someone look into that.

It was 0 amps on meter the whole time. Due to rounding that could mean 0.5A or less.

I'd say about 3 hours. Three separate 1 hour trips. So three "cold" starts. Cold being relative. And three ramp ups and ramp downs.

Fictional shows like that are a dis-service to the public.

In real life:

One anomaly after disconnecting and reconnecting the 12v battery. Truck starting running the air conditioner with the A/C button not on. Did it three times. I could shut the whole climate system off. But I could not get just plain outside air ventilation. My truck did this when factory new and...

All in all... the bottom line is the cost per mile in California is no higher than anywhere else. The denser traffic basically forces you to get really high miles per gallon. I get this completely keeping up with the natural flow of traffic. How many Texans out there are going 750 miles on...

I don't watch much fiction these days.

Put it on a smart charger overnight while DISCONNECTED FROM TRUCK for 12 hours. My truck needs no 9 hours of park with doors locked or any high beams flashing to relearn. Must look at resting voltage which was now -12.6 A handful of minutes after reconnecting this: Started my AM commute and...

Ask A.I. about the electrical grid: On the electrical grid: "Generation Inefficiency: If you look at the raw energy (fuel) needed to produce electricity, 66% of that energy is wasted in the generation process, meaning only 34% of the original energy becomes electricity. 5% to 10% of that is...

It's commonly cited it takes 0.5 gallon of gasoline to put 1 gallon of gasoline at the pump in a best case scenario (modern refinery, lower transportation). And it takes 0.75 gallon of gasoline to put 1 gallon of gasoline at the pump worst case scenario, old refinery, more transportation...

Hybrid. 3 yrs 8 months old. A little under 60k miles. Original stock FLA battery. Got first ever case of doors would not open with key fob. After 8 hours parked following a 1 hour drive. 90°F outside. Opened with key. Burglar alarm goes off. Key fob could not silence alarm. Put key in...

I could tell you. But then I'd have to kill you. 😈
