Yep to that, kinda sums it up. Most vehicles achieve best fuel economy in the region of 65-80km/h - going over that increases the drag effect exponentially and hits you in the arse pocket.

Have you checked the on board computer readings against your actual real life using pump receipts for litres and a gps for mileage? If you fill to visible in the neck from say the 1/4 fill line on...

Looks like Revlon just branched out into multi-purpose lipstick ammo... On the subject of .45-70, this is definitly overthinking it in my book. .45-70 isn't a target round, so the need for 1/4"...

When seating, seat it half way then retract the case, turn it 180deg and run it to full depth. Seems to fix most of this issue. Another cause is a mismatch between the tip of the bullet and the...

Whatever you get make sure it doesn't dissolve when you spill petrol onto it. That's a bugger as you invariably lose something out of a chainsaw, or tip a fuel can over and a lot of the cheaper...

The mechanism is plastic deformation of metals, it's a similar (in effect) process to cold drawing alloy cylinders with a massive press pushing onto a disc of ali alloy. The pressure gets to a point...

Helium isn't a long term thing - it's notoriously hard to keep behind a seal as the molecule size is tiny. That's why they normally use argon as the purge gas - it's a much bigger particle size so...

Was about to say the same thing as m101a1, but thought I's better just read to the bottom haha... Dry internals is the key, doesn't matter if the thing is gassed on argon nitrogen or whatever in...

Yeah it's the hills and the corners that stuffs the fuel economy. Need to get onto those Green bastards and get them to campaign for flat straight roads!!!

There's a bit more to that equation than that - but the basics of your argument are correct. The issue with a smaller engine like the Nissan 2.3L sewing machine with 16 hair dryers and a...
