VW unveils an ultra-efficient car

Volkswagen has made a car it says can travel 313 miles on a gallon of diesel, and that emits just 24 grammes of carbon dioxide per kilometre travelled.

The XL1, which seats two adults, combines a 0.8 litre two cylinder diesel engine with an electric motor.

The car is constructed around a carbon fibre reinforced polymer monocoque to reduce the weight to just 795 kilos.

German rival BMW is also making an electric carbon fibre car, while Mercedes is to make carbon fibre parts. Continue reading “VW unveils an ultra-efficient car”

Final Numbers from Omaha Recall Election

11:45 37,198 38,841 76,039 241414 0.31

This means one thing, although the people who wanted to recall Mayor Suttle had a big microphone, the voters reaffrimed their May 2009 vote.

As of Wednesday 01/26/V3.1 07:59 76,039 people have voted.  76,122 people voted in the May 2009 election.  That means about the same number of people came out to vote.  Probably the same people.

Thanks again for costing us $300,000.  We DON’T appreciated it.

Great kind of day

Today is Wednesday 01/26/V3.1 & its a 3 point kind of day.

Omaha’s Team is in action at 17:30 & ~19:30.  We lost to this team back on Friday 12/03/V3.1.  Its about time for a little take back.  Let’s get that tiger by the tail.

The word of the day is gung-ho, which is wholeheartedly enthusiastic and loyal.  I don’t pick these things, someone at dictionary.com does.  But that’s a good word today.

I’m gung-ho about UNO winning tonight’s basketball games, I was gung-ho about the MMXI Omaha Recall Election being a successful endeavor, although it cost the City of Omaha $300,000.  That’s a lot of potholes, but alas.

Have a GREAT day & do what you wanna do.
