Car Talk

I read there's a new electrical car that nets you a scant 100 mile range. That car would last only a few minutes at these speeds.

How many miles you guys get from a full tank? I'm not exactly sure but when I top off before Disney trips I wind up with a quarter tank left once I get there. That's about 210 miles.
 
In cold weather I get about 350 miles to a tank, and in warm weather I can get about 425.

My big problem with electric car ranges, is the charge time. If you're on a road trip, you have to plan out recharges for when you'll be stopped someplace for a while that has a charging station.
 
Bought a newish car yesterday. 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, all wheel drive because the winters around here are a little harsher than living in the suburbs, CarPlay (no satellite radio interestingly enough!), and Bluetooth. Traded in the old Chevrolet Cruze and paid off the loan with the trade offer. Liking it so far. Since it didn't come with satellite I just cancelled it for now.

I also get around 400 on a full tank. The Tesla charging stations at the rest stops are super fast.

Cool. I keep thinking that in a few years, I may be ready to get one.
The price of them needs to come down a bit, the range improved, and availability of charging stations are the things I'm waiting for.

You're a Chevy guy. I had a Cavalier once. How many miles on it?

Mazel Tov!

BTW, what happened to being laid off?
 
How hard is it for you guys to get your licenses to kill?

And everyone knows in order to sponsor a ride in Epcot one must have secret clearance.
