Chrysler's plan might be to get rid of Dodge cars.
Autobloggreen.com has an article about long it takes before your hybrid car is worth it.
A fabulous oldsmobile aurora has been modded to have suicide doors.
I'm working on a post disproving of myths about hypermiling. So far I've myths of safety and legality covered but I need more. Post your hypermiling myths below.
Now you can build your own hybrid car.
I don't know why I don't care about the Pirelli calender. Oh wait I do know. I do like the Pirelli building in New Haven that Ikea turned into a very large billboard. I also like Ikea. I wonder if that would have anything to do with my complete apathy towards the new Pirelli calendar.
Looks like the golf master can't sell a dead brand. Too bad. I hear that the monster coug-mobile Rendezvous is selling well or at least better than the other stuff Buick hawking these days.
On less busy roads I find it easy to vary my speed depending on the terrain. That is I coast up and down hills but the variation in my speed and the lack of break lights could become dangerous. Is there a good way to hypermile and be stingy with gas and be safe too?
When I'm hypermiling in my prizm, should I use the break or the engine to slow down? I've heard that when hypermiling you don't want to use the break because it ruins your fuel economy.
Word on the street is that General Motors wants to put a stake in the heart of its cash vampire Saab. I'm from New England and therefore have a love-hate relationship with the brand. All that really means is that I can remember when Saabs didn't suck.
Here are some easily dispelled myths about fuel maximizing techniques known as hypermiling.
Hypermiling is not some sort of scary daredevil driving techniques but simple modifications to your driving technique. Hypermiling will not lead to your death unless you are scheduled to win a Darwin award. The majority of fuel maximizing techniques are safe and street legal. However, check with your local authorities before you engaged in any risky activity.
On a roll after making the gay car that straight vampires love to drive, Volvo has now made their safer for the living. You won't die of allergies in a S60 but that still leaves boredom.....
My fellow hypermilers how do you get the most mpg? Share your favorite fuel efficiency maximizers here.

According to greendaily, Shell will open a biodiesel plant in Hawai'i that will use algae to make fuel.
A cool photo shows you the space required by the same people traveling by bus, car and bikes.
The Smart is the little car that can't and you shouldn't. Unless you want to look lame don't buy it. It is small, drives horribly and doesn't really get great mileage. Sounds like a recipe for douchbagery.
The Truth About Cars tells you the truth about the Opel/ Saturn Astra a cute little car from GM.
The only reason that Chrysler should be allowed to keep going, GEM a maker of electronic neighborhood cars now has customized versions of their ugly mobiles. Run with it.
