I am not sure if you noticed 50k there...
Usual warranty period is 36, sometimes 40 - very rarelly any longer.

Show me a document proving what you said about the car engine
@ 10k being tight and wasting more energy on frictionthan @ 50k.

I can see you have joined the elite club...

> Pez: try "engine break-in fuel economy"

Break-in?? You must be kidding me...
We were talking about 10k and 50k comparison, not the first thousand miles break-in.
Sorry, but I was still unable to find a document comparing mpg of 10k and 50k cars.
Can you be so kind (and wise) and give me the link you've refered to?
I am not as good with google as you, and I was only able to find this page:
http://autorepair.about.com/cs/gener...a022501a_2.htm
To quote:
"New Engines:
New vehicles have not yet had an opportunity for the engine to break in
(rings to seat, etc.). A typical engine will take three to five thousand
miles to break in, and during this time period a gradual increase in fuel
economy can be expected." I cannot see there anything about 50k miles car
being better on mileage than a 10k car...
Same here:
http://www.autotrader.com/research/a...rdpage=ARTPOS1
"Engine Break-in
New vehicles will not obtain their optimal fuel economy until the engine has broken in. This may take 3-5 thousand miles."

Nothing anywhere about the effects of engine break-in
after the first 10k miles and between 10k-50k period.

Show me how you, my Master, use the google, please!

I can see you have a lot of time on your hand, please

gm, ford honda and not only with their luxury items.

What is the warranty on honda, discussed here?

Not to mention that this only counts the basic warranty... The
powertrain warranty is more for all of them, including GM's 5 year
100K, and Chrysler's Lifetime (for the original owner). Honda and
Toyota ar 5/60...

Hyundai at 10 years/100k miles on the powertrain. The first
"long warranty" company.

I was wondering where Hyundai was until you went to the
heart of the matter.

Not only that, but if honda and toyota only offered a 200 mile warranty,
it still wouldn't have a bearing on the fact that their cars routinely
run flawlessly for 130,000 miles and their engines make often make it
to 300,000 miles with only scheduled maintenance. The #1 factor that
prevents the average lifespan from being 200,000 miles are car crashes
and owner neglect -- the owner failing to provide the recomended maintenance.

And of course, nobody has ever seen a hyundai as having a warranty
over 40,000 miles is so amazingly rare.

I looked drove around for a bit and it was a whole 2 ing minutes
till I was one of those rare wonders. I bet nobody else has ever
seen so many of them!

Anybody ever seen a mercedes? Those are rare.
Anybody ever seen a volvo? There also rare. I bet there aren't 40
of them in the U.S.

I once saw a SAAB. I didn't know what an incredible feat that was.
Should I have called channel 4 news to call in the news reporters for
this rare observance?
