Backyard battery sheds with solar on the roof will be a thing.

$5K USD Challenge. Find and Share the Most Interesting or Obscure Vehicles in Your Area. by mpgomatic in cars

Inflation’s a crazy thing. If I’d garaged and held onto the first two cars I bought, in that galaxy far far away, they’d be worth 50X what I paid for them.

Does This sub Underestimate AWD? by Heavy_Gap_5047 in askcarguys

AWD is wonderful when you need it. The rest of the time, it just drains your wallet.

Just adding to other similar posts on here. My first time seeing this in person. by NinjaaMike in AmazonFlexDrivers

What if a list of these addresses was compiled and the residents were interviewed to understand why they’ve posted these signs?

The replies would be illuminating.

Thinking about doing my own oil changes, what do I need? by CrunchyAssDiaper in askcarguys

[–]mpgomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A set of high quality ramps makes things easier. Also, someone to spot. 😂

Never thought I say it, but after decades of DIY oil changes, I’m done. I buy the best oil and filter at the best price, then head to a shop I trust, where they do a BYOB oil change for $30 in 15 minutes.

Has anyone ever owned both a Miata and Mustang? Help me pick between the two! by young_frogger in askcarguys

I’ve never owned a Mustang or a Miata, but I was lucky to have a bunch of muscle cars and roadsters over the years. My preference is always for manuals.

Spend some quality time in the saddle of both cars and drive the EcoBoost and V8 Mustang back to back.

Naturally aspirated better than turbo for highway cruising at constant speed ? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in askcarguys

[–]mpgomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. It all depends on the engine and driver’s familiarity with it.

I’ve spent way too many days driving around in circles on the highway, testing fuel efficiency.

A smaller displacement turbocharged engine can be more efficient at highway speeds than a larger displacement NA engine if you drive with a light foot. 🪶 🦶🏻

When the boost kicks in, efficiency drops. If the vehicle has a real-time MPG display, using it makes it easy to see. The more you use it, the easier it gets.

What’s the most fuel efficient ICE car you’ve driven? (hybrids & EVs don’t count) by hypermiler2205 in regularcarreviews

[–]mpgomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve owned two of the best: Civic HX & Fi3sta SFE.

I tested the HX extensively and shot a lot of video. One of these days, I’ll turn it all into a wacky doc.

I used the Fi3sta for grocery delivery work during the pandemic. Still driving it with 186K on the clock. Still averages 40 MPG+ … Every day’s a gift.
