Add acetone and K&N and this baby will go 290 mpg : )

If the tires are properly inflated and you drive smoothly, you will have to ride the brakes to keep the tank from overflowing. |

Re: Volkswagon unveils car that gets 282 miles to the gallon.
I dont understand why VW described it as a 6 speed manual transmission
that shifts automatically. If its a manual its a manual, if its an automatic its automatic. It only has forward neutral and reverse so its automatic |

Re: Volkswagon unveils car that gets 282 miles to the gallon.
Just a guess:
The fluids in a traditional automatic transmission would rob that 8 HP Evinrude of precious power. Instead, they use a manual transmission and add electronic solenoids and switches to change the gears whenever the software calculates the optimal (i.e. most fuel efficient) shifting point. Maybe? But then, I'm sure Dan G would say, "All things being the same, you don't have a clue what you are talking about."

The normal automatic transmission has significant losses associated with it, amounting to approx 5-10% of power throughput. What they've done is taken a standard manual shift transmission and strapped an automatic shifting aparatus to it. |

Re: Volkswagon unveils car that gets 282 miles to the gallon.
Ahhh, but your caveat is "traditional" there are other 'automatic
transmissions' that 'shift' manually for the driver. To the operator it's "Automatic!" So things are -=not the same=- and it's you who doesn't have a clue!
