I’ve been curious about this for a long time and still have not received an explanation I can comprehend. A commercial pilot recently explained to me that a tailwind helps the commercial aircraft fly faster. However, the more I think about this, the less sense it makes.

I can see how this would be true if the plane is flying slower than the wind is blowing. But a jet liner travels at 500-600 mph at cruising altitude, so even if the wind were at the jet’s tail, it can’t possibly be blowing at or greater than the speed of the jet…can it? This would mean that the jet will be “outrunning” the wind, thereby not benefiting from it. Conversely, if the wind were a headwind, you would expect the drag on the jet to increase and the speed to slow somewhat.

Can someone explain this phenomenon in terms that make sense to this non-scientist? Thank you!

Given the "consumer surge" from China, the prediction is that demand will not go down as cost of production goes up.

As of November 12, 2007, how much are you paying around the world as well as here in the US?

If you are not in the US, please convert to a price per US gallon. For uniformity, let's go with regular unleaded 87 oct rating.

Thanks.

I have a silver jeep and I recently scraped up against the garage on accidient. There are no dents, but there is some paint that looks like I can scrap it off. Is there a good way to do this without hurting the paint underneath? Any products that will help it or utensil that will safely remove the paint?

I went to my car a while ago, and saw that all the water had leaked underneath the car. What do I do? I need to go to work every day, so I cant take the car to the shop until the weekend!

My bf took his 2002(?) VW Golf to dealer for 90,000 check-up, and they are charging $1375 because they say he has a cracked coolant reservoir and needs new brake pads. Also doing oil change and other fluids replacement. This seems like highway robbery to me.

I have a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport AWD with an Infinity sound system. The front speakers have stopped working. When you put the fader to the front, all you hear is crackling out of them. Does this mean they are blown, or is it a short at the radio itself? How should I figure out what is wrong? Should I start by pulling the radio out and reattaching all the wires to see if I can get them to work, or is there another way to figure out if the speakers are blown?

I disconnected the battery, and I dont know the code for the reset. Is there a universal code to set the radio? Or does each system have its own code. What I'm try to say is, I DONT WANT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN CHARGE ME 60 DOLLARS TO RESET MY SYSTEM FOR 2 MINUTES OF WORK. ITS A 850GTL..

I'm thinking of buying a vespa to commute to work (cental london, 5 miles). I'm new to scooters and thinking of buying a vespa as I love the look of it. I have a few questions before taking a decision:
- is a vespa (vs. Other brand) a good investment. I know it's more expensive than other brands but does it keep its value if I was to resell?
- what is the cost of having a scooter in terms of insurance, MOT, road tax...etc?
- should I buy a 50cc or 125cc?
- is it better to buy new or secound hand given that it's my first one and it will sleep outside on the road but in a garage during the day?

Sorry for all the questions but would appreciate your advice.
Thanks!

I have a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant V6, that has a wierd noise when I start it in cold weather. It's not a squealing, but the motor just sounds rough and overly loud. When we get on the road, and the engine gets warmed up, it's fine and runs quiet like usual.........
Thought it was a belt, (I knew I needed belts replaced anyway), so I got that done this weekend and still hasnt fixed the noise....... what else could this be? I've read things about oil, could it be a fan??? Help...........
