Then you put in a higher efficiency, higher compression motor - say 1.8l 170HP - that gets 38MPG, but requires premium fuel. Then while I'm paying the extra 20 cents a gallon (the difference between 87 & 91 octane here in St. Louis), I'm rewarded with higher MPG, so it may actually be cheaper to use the higher octane / more efficient combo. smaller forced induction motors can and should replace larger displacement NA engines, but consumers, insurance companies, and manufacturers don't want it, don't understand it, and don't do it (in that order). |

Clearly, SnoMan, the extra "" is being added somewhere in your environment or your provider's, since it always appears on your posts. Personally, I think Doug Miller's reaction (to Killfile you) is a bit strong but there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that he is correct in his claim .... |

Now now, lets play nice - even to those of us who still use OE :-)
As far as GM "killing off Saturn", I say bah. To quote Dylan, the times they are a changin'. For Saturn, it's change or die. As the L-series was originally "helped" by Opel, it only makes logical sense that Saturn again turns to them, and furthermore the fact that they are both GM companies. Lets be honest here, GM has been starving Saturn for new product for years now. Its due time for new models to appear. The days of the cheapo-economy box are over sad to say, but it's all part of survival, evolve or die. The one thing that Saturn has never and will not go away from is their reputation (mostly good) for taking care of people. To that extent, Saturn will always be Saturn. I can say that with all confidence because I know one of the original Saturn people who still believes strongly in the original concept. The cars may change, but Saturn is trying to maintain their original people philosophy while building better cars. IMHO, after 12 years of the S-series and 5 years of the ION, change is long overdue. -- marx404 |
