The car stuff is officially \"gasoline\" in the USA.

But calling it gas means it gets confused with real gas.

I don\'t think many people get confused.

It could be very confusing if there if you also include the posibility
of a gas (LPG) powered car.

That would be an \"LNG powered car\" or a \"hydrogen powered car.\" Both
rare.

No, it would be an LPG powered car. Liquefied Petroleum Gas.

In the USA we have clearly labeled cars and trucks: LNG and CNG. Both

LPG usually means propane. Some forklifts run on propane, as do rural
homes without piped gas (ie, NG) service. It\'s expensive.

I recall rural cabins with underground butane tanks.

Look Mr Larkin
I had a LPG car for many many years
Reason: LPG was, when I bought it, a lot cheaper than gas or diesel.
That changed over the years as government here started taxing it more and more.
Anyways it is stored in liquid form in a pressurized tank in the car.
Liquified Petrolium Gas
Mine had a selection button: petrol or LPG, so also a normal fuel tank.
Lots of people who did drive many km used LPG.
Nothing rare about it, most fuel station have it here.
You could also add LPG to an existing petrol car by just buying some conversion set.
When I did away with it I think I had about 250,000 km on the counter.

USA? Never heard about it, did not its states fall apart in 2022 after the midterms?

UK petrol costs twice as much as US gasoline. Taxes often drive usage.

UK petrol costs twice as much as US gasoline.  Taxes often drive
usage.

Given that, they deserve different names.


The UK petrol/diesel fleet gets almost twice the fleetwide
MPG as the corresponding US fleet,

Americans can\'t seem to make efficient engines, no idea why.

US vehicles on average are bigger and SUV\'s predominate and there may
even be more pickup trucks than sedans.

I meant for the same horsepower, you have larger engines over there.

I also noted that price differential between diesel and gasoline is
less
in UK and since diesels cost more they do not predominate in US as
in UK.

I assume you mean in the US diesel is more expensive?  I assume
this is
a tax thing.  In the UK our government taxes diesel slightly more, but
not by much.  I\'m guessing the real cost of the two is pretty much the
same.

A diesel engine might cost more, but it lasts twice as long.

Your taxes are much higher and tend to level cost.

Odd, I thought the UK government taxed diesel more due to pollution
concerns.

Last time passing gas station, gasoline was $3.81/gal. and diesel was
about $5.50/gal.

Here it\'s £1.60/litre petrol, £1.70 a litre diesel.
= $7.14/US gallon petrol, £7.59/US gallon diesel.

So what are you moaning about?  Your fuel is as cheap as water!


I knew your prices and much higher taxes.

Large price difference here may be to lower diesel usage.

I am not looking forward to winter as I heat with oil which is
essentially diesel.

In the UK they\'ve capped energy prices after the covid/Russia farces.
But they didn\'t cap heating oil....

Saw a video yesterday that OPEC\'s dropping output by just 2% caused a
lot of the price rise. If our asshole in charge would take the throttle
off US production price would fall considerably. Unfortunately the
greenies own him.

Does not matter what you call it, what is it? LPG and LNG are different
things. Call it what it is. Both have been used in automobiles.

Facts matter
Some very common questions for those new to LNG – “what is LNG? Is it
propane or LPG?”

The answer is “no” and here is a brief explanation:

LPG is short for Liquified Petroleum Gas. LPG can be Propane, Butane
isobutane and can be a mixture of these gasses. In the United States,
LPG is thought of as propane but while propane is a LPG, not all LPG is
propane.

LPG comes from two sources. One is natural gas processing and the other
is during the refining process. LPG can be liquefied by being cooled and
pressurized and shipped via, truck, pipeline rail and ship.

LNG is short for Liquefied Natural Gas. Natural gas is a naturally
occurring hydrocarbon gas mostly consisting largely of methane. It is
extracted during natural gas drilling and petroleum production. LNG is
natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state at -260°. Natural gas
is plentiful in the United Sates and the U.S is the world leader in
Natural Gas production.

The UK petrol/diesel fleet gets almost twice the fleetwide
MPG as the corresponding US fleet, and they drive on average
only a third of the annual miles compared with those in the
US. UK public transit is far superior than that available
in the US. The longest straight-line road-trip in the UI is
from Land\'s End to John \'o Groats, 603 miles (814 by vehicle).

Comparing UK prices to US prices for fuel isn\'t particularly useful.

It\'s fun to soak in a nice hot tub and let your hair freeze.

Sissy.

Girls make the experience even better.

Shivering girls are even better.

If I go on some passive vacation, I\'ll think about electronics all the
time. I can ski from 9AM to 4PM with just a couple of breaks, up in
the gorgeous mountains, and basically not think much at all. Then when
I\'m done I\'m too tired to think.

Skiing has actually taught me a lot. About trusting your body and your
instincts, about hesitation and commitment, about dynamics.

Indeed. Best to do everything subconsciously. Trying to calculate things takes too long and you come across things you didn\'t expect. Same goes for driving.

Do you calculate steering and braking forces as you drive?

No, my point exactly. I use instincts as you said.

In engineeering new ideas are usually qualitative and subconscious.
May as well get them while you\'re asleep. Ideas only need analysis
(classic math or simulation) once they exist. Good quantity instincts
will usually disqualify really bad ideas before you wake up.

Indeed. And always have something to write down stuff as soon as you wake up, especially if like me you wake up multiple times in the night. I\'ve been known to remember 6 different dreams by morning. The craziest one was placing a bet on Ladbrokes online. I then did so the next day and won the same £100 as in the dream. But calculating the odds, I should have lost several hundred.

I have to write ideas down at 3 AM, or I\'ll forget them.

Of course, if you do that it\'s too often obvious in the light of day
how crazy the ideas were. But we embrace all ideas, even the crazy
ones.

I never remember dreams. I suppose I have them. I do have
hallucinations, which are different. They are fun.

They\'re still double. I get 130K miles form a petrol engine, and 260K miles from a diesel engine.

The P1800 wasn\'t bad for its time and place. The PV series had a certain
pre-war charm. Too bad they were built post-war when the rest of the world
had moved on.

A friend had a Healey 3000 that was stolen so he replaced that with
another 3000. That was also stolen. He\'d had enough of that shit and
bought a Volvo. It was also stolen but that one was recovered with minor
damage.

They\'ll steal anything in Boston; Volvos, hot stoves, elections...

Nobody stole my Ford Fiesta.

Oh, fuck! The senile gossip is at it again... The fucked up Trumptard simply
loves so much to hear himself talking. Just like his hero Stumpie! LOL

More of the senile gossip\'s absolutely idiotic senile blather:
\"I stopped for breakfast at a diner in Virginia when the state didn\'t do
DST. I remarked on the time difference and the crusty old waitress said
\'We keep God\'s time in Virginia.\'

I also lived in Ft. Wayne for a while.\"

Last longer than what? That argument worked better 40 or 50 years ago when
a gasoline engine was tired by 50,000 miles.
They\'re still double. I get 130K miles form a petrol engine, and 260K miles from a diesel engine.

Is that all? My petrol engine is doing fine at 207k miles. Fuel efficiency seems better
than when it was new.
I tend to drive 20 year old cars, so you\'re probably on newer designs. Also I mistreat them, driving them at the limit (of the car, not the law).

And if it\'s a Volvo engine, you double everything anyway.

It is a Volvo engine (and car). Its about 23 years old.

It\'s more of a local place than the monsters like Squaw and Northstar.
One of the runs is called Pacific Crest Trail because it is. One peak
is Mt Disney because Walt was one of the original investors. So it\'s a
Mickey Mouse ski area.

The prevailing wind off the ocean rises and peaks just about there. In
a good year they get 80 feet of snow. One year we skiied on the 4th of
July.

Pah, I prefer it when they\'re cold.

It\'s fun to soak in a nice hot tub and let your hair freeze.

Sissy.

Girls make the experience even better.

Shivering girls are even better.

If I go on some passive vacation, I\'ll think about electronics all the
time. I can ski from 9AM to 4PM with just a couple of breaks, up in
the gorgeous mountains, and basically not think much at all. Then when
I\'m done I\'m too tired to think.

Skiing has actually taught me a lot. About trusting your body and your
instincts, about hesitation and commitment, about dynamics.

Indeed. Best to do everything subconsciously. Trying to calculate things takes too long and you come across things you didn\'t expect. Same goes for driving.

Do you calculate steering and braking forces as you drive?

No, my point exactly. I use instincts as you said.

In engineeering new ideas are usually qualitative and subconscious.
May as well get them while you\'re asleep. Ideas only need analysis
(classic math or simulation) once they exist. Good quantity instincts
will usually disqualify really bad ideas before you wake up.

Indeed. And always have something to write down stuff as soon as you wake up, especially if like me you wake up multiple times in the night. I\'ve been known to remember 6 different dreams by morning. The craziest one was placing a bet on Ladbrokes online. I then did so the next day and won the same £100 as in the dream. But calculating the odds, I should have lost several hundred.

I have to write ideas down at 3 AM, or I\'ll forget them.

Same here. I have a torch and a notepad and pen next to my bed.

Of course, if you do that it\'s too often obvious in the light of day
how crazy the ideas were. But we embrace all ideas, even the crazy
ones.

Crazy is always fun and often surprisingly correct.

> I never remember dreams.

Look up Novadreamer.

I suppose I have them. I do have
hallucinations, which are different. They are fun.

Does this require ingestion of mushrooms?
