    Dwr's E-cig Thread....

    Being in the medical field I am very interested in e-cigs and vaping so I have checked pretty much all the info that is out there, and it isn't really much. Yet. I would recommend that anyone who likes vaping for whatever reason do so descretely. The anti-pleasure nazis are already lining up...

    The Next Generation Elio Engine ? (2-stroke Turbo Diesel)

    I'd say that's pretty accurate IMHO, but from an ecological standpoint jobs and spending and production is a BAD thing. The REAL eco-agenda is about reducing all those things. Naturally you have to have a decent economy and large consumer base in order to fund and promote new ideas in...

    The Next Generation Elio Engine ? (2-stroke Turbo Diesel)

    I would like to see more LPG run here in the US, but once again someone is still going to end up burning the diesel. Actually if one is out to save the planet, it could be well argued that we should burn MORE of the diesel fuel here in newer cleaner burning vehicles instead of having it burned...

    Hello

    I know nothing of the vehicle laws north of the boarder, but if there is a way around the problem someone will find it sooner or later.

    Aw, c'mon. Go ahead and say what you're dancing around. Get out of the politically correct rut. Be judgemental just once. Make a generalized statement, without even prefacing it with a littany of qualifiers. Break free of the fear of offending! If you're still hesitant, I'll offer some...

    Elio Lighting (head, Tail, Brake, Signal, Fog, Auxiliary, Blinking,etc...)

    With all the new LED technology you can put just about any lighting you can imagine on a vehicle. A typical automechanic is NOT really the person for the job, especially if you want to be creative with it. If you don't want to learn to DIY, then maybe a car audio shop or tuner club could refer...

    The Next Generation Elio Engine ? (2-stroke Turbo Diesel)

    I'm not sure that works out exactly since if diesel produces 14% more co2 and it IS typically 33% more efficient, then it should reduce co2 by 9%. Statistically. AND, your premise of Bambi-sparing conscientiousness assumes that the Diesel fuel you don't burn will be returned back down the oil...

    If You Don't Believe....

    It concerns me that you might actually think that is an un-biased assessment.

    If You Don't Believe....

    That's how they measure fuel mileage. It's 3 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.

    If You Don't Believe....

    As evidenced by dusty making fun of my German, I am American as Dutch apple pie, but I was just keeping up with the conversation. There was an article from a German site that was rather good. http://www.welt.de/motor/modelle/article133077848/Das-ist-das-Drei-Liter-Auto-fuer-5000-Euro.html I...

    If You Don't Believe....

    I appreciate your unfettered loyalty to the dream, and I fervently hope it turns out to be well founded. But as to what we can do for Elio, I think that is part of the frustration that exists, because the answer really is, NOTHING. Unless you happen to have a quarter billion bucks lying around...

    If You Don't Believe....

    Whomever do you mean?? I wouldn't like to think of myself as a usual source at all. I've become accustomed to being considered a rather UNusual source. :-P Making fun of my German - Bad form for someone "drawn here to meet 'nice' folks". I did mention that it's been quite some time after...

    Das tut mir auch leid, aber was sollen wir den ubersetzen? Ganz lange hab ich nicht Deutsch gesprochen, denoch bin Ich ziemlich eingerostet. Aber das war richtig; wie?, wo?, wer?, warum? Wer fragt nicht bleibst dumm. Genau!

    Elio And Gas Prices

    Don't politicians fall under the "weapons of mass destruction" statutes? You could get in a lot of trouble for that.:-)

    If You Don't Believe....

    I don't know if anyone hopes more fervently than I do for this project to succeed, but honestly, if only good little sycophants who've drunk all their col-aid are allowed then you'll have to push the button on me. Others might not understand it, but I have principles that guide my thought...

    The Next Generation Elio Engine ? (2-stroke Turbo Diesel)

    Interesting approach. That would open a lot of possible new configurations of pistons and combustion chamber designs. For the short term though, that's a lot of high-end laser technology to try to bring in at a consumer-level price tag. A fancy ignition system on a cargo ship can cost a...

    Okay, So What Is The Real Deal?

    I'm not out to be a downer or 'troll' the place up or anything, but I'm afraid THIS delay might be the coffin nail ultimately. I was also under the initial impression that the extension was for six months, but if it's 18 all the better. Apparently the rumors of another major party being...

    The Next Generation Elio Engine ? (2-stroke Turbo Diesel)

    80 mpg burning $4 per gallon fuel or 40 mpg burning $3 per gallon fuel. The math still lends guidance. However, if we are asking ourselves if it would be worth it in comparing a diesel Elio to a gasoline Elio, that is a different question. Assuming this comparison maintained the typical 33%...

    Time To "get 'er Done"

    I am going to face the wrath of the troll hunters for this, but I have to be honest. eliothegreat raises some valid points. Not all perhaps, but certainly some. Do I think this is àll a big scam to get money? No, that seems unlikely. If it all goes under, there will be nothing left by the...
