Be mindful of how you aredriving. Avoid quick accelerations and hard braking, as these can significantly decrease the overall efficiency of your vehicle. When accelerating, try to do so gradually and maintain a constant speed while on the highway. This will help you get the most out of every...
An engine misfire occurs when this cycle is disrupted in one or more cylinders. Instead of producing a smooth flow of power, the engine hesitates, stumbles, or loses performance. Misfires can happen intermittently or persistently, depending on the underlying issue. Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Engin...
From a psychological perspective, a dream of cars can indicate our own hidden power or control in life. If you are alone in the car during your dream this can suggest independence or even reliance upon others. If the car loses complete control in your dream then this indicates there is a...
The plug-in hybrid can travel for much greater distances on pure electric power alone, so you can enjoy the pure-electric silence for longer stints than you can in the regular hybrid. When the engine does kick in it can still sound a bit raucous, but the transition between power sources ...

Like many other projects Apple has undertaken, the Apple Car has been in the works for almost a decade. Here's the story so far, from when we first starting hearing about Apple working on it.
In normal conditions, the system intelligently distributes torque between the front and rear to maximise stability and handling, or fuel economy, where appropriate. On slippery surfaces the system can send almost all of the engine’s power to the rear if the front axle loses traction. ...
One report mentioned a UK study from 2014 accusing the industry of only injecting the urea when the car was accelerating. I could see that the need to keep re-filling the urea tank would be a reason for a car maker to program such an intermittent injection and making sure that it was ...
