Gaf The Horse With Tears Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Inside Bruce Crower’s Six-Stroke Engine But the inventor sees overriding benefits. “Can you imagine how much fuel goes into radiator losses every day in America? A good spark-ignition engine is about 24 percent efficient; ie., about 24 cents of your gasoline dollar ends up in power. The rest goes out in heat loss through the exhaust or radiator, and in driving the water pump and the fan and other friction losses. “A good diesel is about 30 percent efficient, a good turbo diesel about 33 percent. But you still have radiators and heavy components, and fan losses are extremely high on a big diesel truck.” Bottom-line, Bruce estimates his new operating cycle could improve a typical engine’s fuel consumption by 40 percent. He also anticipates that exhaust emissions may be greatly reduced. It’s all thanks to the steam.

Marblez Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Its cheaper in the ghetto. I payed 3.45 to buy gas yesturday in Detroit.....In southfield someplace it was 3.75 Hey, for some, buying gas in the ghetto could have it's perks too. I swear, I get hit on everytime I go to a gas station that is east of Telegraph. Course, they could be trying to distract me so that they can steal my car or rob me.
Homicidalheathen Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Yah, I was pretty nervous standing out there but when my tank filled for 10 bucks less than it usually takes to fill it I thought it might just be worth it to drive here just to fill up!

Course, they could be trying to distract me so that they can steal my car or rob me. Drive a hearse, most black people won't go near it. They're superstitious about that type of thing I shit you not.
Homicidalheathen Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Its true. I know a few in Pontiac that wont go to clutch cargos cause it used to be a church so.....your sinning if you walk in it now that its a bar???? Whatever.
The Void Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 My personal opinion on rising gas prices is: Walk. Bike. Carpool. Ride a bus (eegad, I know the dreaded bus, but...) Convert your car to a diesel engine and use Biodeisel which is made from canola seeds. (sure, you have to spend a couple grand to get a new engine, but...hahahaa)
Vater Araignee Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I already made a post about rising gas prices. It bears repeating but I'll just give a link. http://www.detroitgothic.net/index.php?sho...st&p=257427
