    ...majority of the drive was on i-40 where the maximum speed limit from 65 to 70 mph .... for all practical purposes we used the adaptive cruise control set at 5 mph over the limit .... on the trip from home to the mountains she got 25.1 mpg .... on the drive back down we got 26.4 mpg .... those...

    2024 Chevy Blazer RS

    I would tear it out of my car in an instant if I could. I get on a freeway and within seconds go to cruise, have been doing that for decades, but this rubbish is not only annoying, it's dangerous. It senses a car too far away and starts to back off, and if you change into the fast lane with...

    we now have just under 700 miles on our Blazer .... used the Adaptive Cruise Control today for the first time .... in some ways its a bit spooky but info provided from folks here is making the adjustment much easier .... still too early to come up with an average MPG but do feel pretty confident...

    ....... just over 50 miles round trip, about 20 over a decent 2 lane state road and 30 some miles on I-40 .... first time using adaptive cruise control, for me the jury is still out .... it worked as advertised but I found it to be a bit spooky .... ran instantaneous MPG screen most of the way...

    2024 Chevy Blazer RS

    while the most advanced options (like adaptive cruise control) are new to me, it appears they have been in use for a good while .... much is usually learned from the first few years that a feature is in production and real world use .... happy to say I don't know of any we have ordered that this...

    Congratulations, my 1/2 ton duramax Chevy pickup took about 6 weeks once it started on the assembly line to delivery . I got the adaptive cruise control, it works perfect and is so great for long drives, I like the fact I can also adjust the following distance.

    2024 Chevy Blazer RS

    I have that in my 2020 Corolla. Good Stuff! I use it daily as a backup when I'm looking around at blind spots before a lane-change, I may not see the traiffic if it stops. But the cruise will. I also use it to keep me from driffting the speed up via my lead-foot. Just set the speed, relax my...

    Elio Motors announces electric vehicle production in Shreveport

    EM has shown computer drawings of the vehicle's frame. Earlier drawings showed a solid bar on the drivers right side. The last drawing I saw showed an opening on the right side that was identical to the left side opening where the door goes. I believe they are placing a door on the right side...

    Elio Motors announces electric vehicle production in Shreveport

    Found this statement interesting: "The Elio will be nicely equipped with power windows, power door locks, air conditioning and cruise control, accompanied by the safety of multiple air-bags and an aerodynamic, enclosed vehicle body." They say "door locks" as plural. Perhaps they are looking at...

    How This Radical Car Missed Its Chance To Change The World - Maybe!

    That if the Elio ends up having less than half mpg and costs 66% more than the projected msrp, then it wouldn't sell well. Trying to compare the Elio to any existing car is a wasted effort. The combination of fuel efficiency and low cost fundamentally changes the economics of owning vehicles...

    I Have Given Up On Elio, Have You?

    Thanks for finding that. It looks like to me that Elio is looking to raise $25M in the pre-sale. This sounds just like what they said for the NASDAQ offering but it was for $100M. Then for the IPO, it was up to $25M but raised $16M. My concern is that if they raised $25M, that it would do this...
