I am only getting about 13MPG/city. Is this normal for this Van? Dodge says it is supposed to get 18MPG. I know the factory numbers are always high, but you would think I'd get at least 16MPG.

The dealer just tells me the computer doesn't find anything wrong with the van.

why on earth did they move the Eurostar service out of Waterloo to St Pancras,it only made a time diffrence of 20 minutes shorter to get to Paris,yet the government spend £800 million revamping it. Southwest trains said that the platforms at Waterloo will not be used for 5 years, i see nothing stopping Southwest trains using those platforms now.

This government has no idea how to save money,instead they waste it,same goes for the 2012 olympics,a total waste of money which could of been better spent on Hospitals and schools.
that's my rant over,what's your thoughts.

Things like cellphone and computer can have circuit problems.
But air plane has lots more complicated circuits for sure.
If there's an error somewhere on a plane, how to detect an circuit error on a complicated electrical system?
Is there an unique error-detecting system working on a plane or something like that?

I'm doubting if it's possible to rule out every single problem on a plane, because things are too complicated out there on it. Well I guess there must be a lot of unsolvable technical problems on it...

Maybe a small problem won't cause an air crash but it's still professional to keep passengers lives, so how will they deal with it?

to buy new tires before I leave. My question is ---- if I can find new tires that match the tread, should I put the spare on the ground and only buy three tires, or should I just let the spare stay where it is and buy four tires. Cost is not the most importand factor. Safe driving to and from Alaska is most important. What do you think?

There are quite a few posts here, where people tend to prefer 747 over A380. The common reason being, support for 747's history. They tend to ignore the technical superiority of the A380 in regards to quietness & fuel efficency, which is very important these days due to global warming & fuel prices.
Now my question to these people is, Would you prefer A330 over B787 for the same reasons & give it a thumbs down for lack of history or is it a matter of American patriotism?

I had to slam on the brakes, and now it seems like the power brake component is out or something. Little resistance when pushed. The brake light is on too. It is a 1997 grand prix. I checked my wheels after i drove it, and only one in the front and one in the back were working because you could tell the ones that work were hot and the others were completely cold.

Can you tell what type of BMW these parts are from?
I got these parts a couple of years ago for my BMW but never installed them because later on I found out that too many modifications were needed for this to fit in my car and I couldn't afford it. Can you tell what type of BMW these parts are from? I forgot what type of car it came out of. All I Know is that it was a 2001 BMW and I was told (E 46 M54) Only 8,000 miles on it too. Now I want to sell them but I need to know what they are and how much I should ask for them. I really need the money. Here's the link to the pic's of what I have.

If flicker flicks up then just do a search on flicker for SnowSadie7 and they should pop up. What would be a good price to ask for all of it? Minus my trailer :)~

Do you really think that gas is too expensive? Will it go back down to the prices it was a few years ago? Will we become like most eurpoean countries and pay over 5 dollars a goallon for it?
