#43 says 1 horse = 7hp.

#44 says car with 150hp engine = 214 horses.

Some of that new gov't math again??

#36 says The four common types of car engines are Straight, Inline, V and Flat. These refer to the cylinder layouts in the engine.

Shows what I know. I always thought straight, inline and flat all meant the same thing.

29. 1957 is that first time a car engine had a computer component. The 1957 AMC Rambler Rebel had the first electronic fuel injection system (EFI) designed for a production car.

I didn't know this.

26. Your car consumes 1.6 ounces of gas for every one minute it idles.

That's why I have a truck. If you're gonna drink, drink hardy! *lol*

25. Your car consumes .5 ounces of gas on start-up. If you’re going to idle for more than 30 seconds, it is more fuel efficient to turn off and restart your car.

They obviously live in a warm climate. Lotsa folks never shut their engine off on them cold -40F days, some even leaving their engine idling while at work! :shock:

22. Cold air is thicker and denser than warm air, affecting aerodynamic drag on your vehicle. Your car works harder to perform normally in the cold.

Yup, and it's harder to get out of bed on them colder days, too!

8. The average school bus has an engine with 220-300HP and about 550 pounds of torque. The highest rated torque in a standard pickup is the Ford F-150, which has 470 pounds of torque.

That's quite misleading. Like comparing a smaller claw hammer to a large ball peen hammer.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
