A European mile isn't the same as a mile in the USA. Check it out. I get 56mpg.. on roads in the USA. winding roads with hills..
70mpg is possible with the non turbo 1.6L. lookup 1.6L w/CNG injection. 80mpg.
there are criminal charges pending because they comitted fraud. I own a 2014 TDI. 80mph in 6th gear averaging 56mpg in low traffic and 50 - 65mph 42-47 mpg in moderate traffic. But they sold a lie. I want a refund.
Dumb A$$ . I'm not a hipster. I bought a tdi for a longer commute. crusing at 80mph at 56mpg. car made sense. I didn't know VW was cheating the system.
I want a full refund... I'll buy another Wrangler and find another job closer to home.
diesel is different from gasoline. optimizing power and performance has a lot to do with fuel injection timing. We tested my 2014 TDI at a local shop.
NOx was higher when tested with just a probe in the exhaust... when connected to the state inspection system you can smell the DPF regen cycle kicking (fuel is injected in the exhaust and ignited to incinerate ash collected in the DPF) in and the engine fuel injection timing changed. NOx was low.
But injection on the early side results in performance loss and lower mpg.
I own one of the vehicles in the recall. It's test mode where DPF regen occurs more often and fuel is injected earlier in the powerstroke than normal for a hotter burn to reduce NOx. earlier in the power stroke results in less mpg and less performance. So I want a full refund. They committed fraud.
I agree... my tdi gets 56mpg. with the EPA tune the car will perform worse and get @ 37mpg since I believe the fix is going to be retarding injection to be early for a hotter burn and more DPF regen cycles. reducing performance and mpg.
My 2014 TDI at 80mph in 6th gear and no traffic gets 56mpg. In moderate traffic @ 50 - 65mph I get no less than 42mpg. I am a gear head and I know you would need to adjust the fuel injection (no spark it's a diesel) to occur a little before the power stroke to get a hotter burn and reduce NOx. The problem is this will reduce performance and mpg.. both the main reasons why I bought a diesel tdi. I want my money back. once the ecu is updated to be EPA compliant the car will not perform as well and mpg not as good. I want a refund + tax , title, registration, +6% of sale to cover taxes on my new non VW vehicle purchase since I won't have a trade and be subject to full sales tax.
Sugar + Phosphoric Acid = diabetes in a bottle.
You are better drinking a home brewed ice tea with lemon / no sugar.
Trust me.. I know. I've been borderline diabetic for a few years. It's the lifestyle of a Systems Engineer. When I was younger I performed many late night firmware updates to midrange servers and SAN hardware. What did I do to stay awake ? I did the Dew in mass quantities.. 2 litre bottles..Coca-Cola..
Bottom line. I'm glad I'm married and have a wife that made sure I went for my yearly physicals. Now.. no more soda for me. I only drink brewed ice tea, coffee,
ice coffee (no sugar). Grilled salmon, steak tips.. nor much bread.
Pretty much close to normal. Processed foods and sugary drinks are making a lot of people sick.
That's right.. After a sale and a return of a pay as you go android smart phone my total cost was $65.00 And it's real easy to run a browser on a Moto 360.
Nope. if your water is hard you use a water softner.. the cheapest way to implement that is use an softener that uses aeration. For taste a good old charcoal/sand filtration system works fine. If the water isn't hard the natural filtration through the rocks and sand is plenty good enough, that's where the best tasting water comes from. That's why we get pissed at companies that frack or have land fills near aquifers. Water that is filtered naturally taste bests. Don't forget water is a renewable resource...
I was going to take my three sons to see the new Marvel Comics Move "Avengers: Age of Ultron".. forget about it now. I urge you all to do the same. use the internet , get the word out. There is only one way to deal with greedy bastards.. make them go broke. After they go broke they will take care of the rest.
Ahh.. that reminds me.. Time to wrap an elastic band around the rinse nozzle on the kitchen sink, maple syrup in the hair shampoo, Saran wrap across the toilet basin.
If Superfish is installed the adware can be searching the hard drive for financial information, credit card, bank accounts, all at risk.
I suggest not to purchase any Lenovo equipment. It's not what it used to be anyway. If you have to buy a Lenovo then I suggest you re-image it.
I built a lot of Radio Shack kits. I built a pixe tube clock, an atomic clock radio, I bought a Realist Navaho Base Station when I was 12 years old.
Radio Shack sold one of the first home pcs too. In the 70s and 80s Radio Shack actually designed, manufactured, and sold products. The TRS-80 is one. One of the first home pcs. lot's of software. I have a Tandy Pocket PC that I kept for a soveinier.. I bought it around 1983. I was a college student then in my freshman year. When I was a kid Radio Shack was one of the only electronic stores that you can bring your television or radio tubes in to test, and buy a replacement.
They also had their own stereo line of products. The equipment was great. I still have a pair of Minmus-7 spears. I have them attached to my hd tv on the second floor. They still sound great.
I remember to elelctronic magazine rack. I would always buy the latest electronic experimenters book by Forest M. Mimms. I'd take circuits in the lab and combine them to build my own gadgets. Radio Shack actually ceased to exists when they stopped building Realistic Navaho CBs, Minmus line of Speakers, stopped innovating the home pc market, eliminated the book shelf, stopped selling original kits based on the components they sold, and became a cell phone shop.
It's too bad. I believe my time spent in Radio Shack as a kid kind of steered me into the career I got into.
You know you pay for air time regardless if it a wrong number or spam right ? All the more reason the dump your cell phone.
If you are tied to your phone because of work have work provide the phone or at least get reimbursed.
My MacPro was acquired through a "salvage pile" at work in 2010. After I fixed it by puchasing a new memory riser I increased RAM to 32gb because it was cheap at the time and the virtual machines I run could take full advantage of the 8 cores and memory. Mac OS hasn't been stable since 10.6.8
I upgraded to 10.7 in 2011, 10.8 in 2012, 10.9 in 2013, updated to 10.9.5 in 2014 -> Linux Mint 17 September 2014, Linux Mint 17.1 December 2014
I figured out how to run Linux bare metal on mac so I am running Linux Mint 17.1 on a Mac Pro 2,1 with 32gb ram, NVIDIA GTX 560 graphics card, and 8tb storage.
I do lvm snapshots to a ESATA jbod for backups.
Linux is 100% stable on Mac Pro. It hasn't crashed or locked up since the install on September 2014.
I modified the boot.efi to allow my old mac pro 2,1 to run Mavericks. I'm glad I never upgraded. My old mac with 32gb of ram is plenty fast enough.. make -j 20... all I have to say is wow this baby can compile code fast. I also have an NVIDIA GTX 560 graphics card and a vintage GT120 for boot selection. I picked another mac pro 8 core 2,1 on ebay and built up a 32gb8 core Linux beast running linux on bare mac metal. Now that I see thunderbolt is full of security holes I bet the next generation if macs will be locked down. I will never purchased locked down hardware.
If I want to create a folder I should be able to create a folder. Too much protection. less user control. I'm working on hacking a Micro Center Windows 8.1 tablet to run Linux natively now. If this is the direction Android is taking I am done with it.
wow... someone does not know anything about coding. Go ahead and try to write a kernel extension in python... wow.
there are different languages for different tasks. C will be around for a very long time.

I pay $2.40 gal for diesel and get 56mpg.
The 2.0L diesel in the cars that are recalled only have a DPF. No blue necessary. No DEF injection. My 2.0L TDI just has a cat and DPF.

My first Linux install was Yggdrasil on a 386SX! I installed it to help with my Computer Science homework!
Had to .. this post reminds me of that hilarious South Park Episode.
