Update: Fuel closed to "reconcept"
2009-10-07 23:54:00 Division Street's mod gas station-themed lounge and eatery Fuel has closed, citing that they are working to "restructure [their] kitchen and concept direction." 10/7: Update: Though Fuel's voicemail still says they are "closed for renovations," there's now a for lease sign in the window. Looks like closed for good to us.Our thoughts? Not so surprised. The concept, from the beginning, was intentionally all over the place: smoothies, espresso, lunch, pizza, flavored mojitos and DJs. Explicity not a club, but brought to you by nightlife entrepreneurs that have had their hand in Y, Zentra and Sound-Bar. Maybe zeroing in on a clearer identity would help draw in the business they were hoping for. We'll be interested to see what this reconcept...

Nissan Advanced Dual Injector System to Boost Power and Reduce Fuel Consump
2009-07-25 02:09:00 Dual injector systems have been around for quite some time now and in their time have given us some impressive gains as far as power and efficiency are concerned. However, smaller displacement engines make using these systems more difficult due to higher injection pressures and less available space. Nissan has developed a new injector system that they claim will not suffer from these issues and still be able to provide a boost in efficiency.
BMW May Use 4-Cylinder Engines to Meet U.S. Fuel-Economy Rules
2009-07-18 19:53:00 Bloomberg tells us that BMW 4-cylinders are coming to North America: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/n-ews?pid=20601103&sid=ahNp0h-dZXILY The big question is what will happen to the brand image of BMW with a 4-cylinder product? BusinessWeek takes us thru that question: http://www.businessweek.com/mag-azine/content/08_42/b4104074245-498.htm You can see from the specs below that BMW has not yet produced a 4-cylinder engine which would be of interest to the North Americna market. 170 HP from 2 liters is not even close to leading the market, much less demonstrating BMW technology prosess. Several manufacturers including Ford and Nissan beat that number handily in their economy cars. The long-term answer is more technology, combined with turbocharging. The engine below is a direct-injected 4-cylinder gas engine from Europe.

New Camless Engine Could Mean More Power and Less Fuel
2009-07-15 04:24:00 The traditional internal combustion engine is only about 25%-30% efficient at the flywheel. After going through the rest of the drivetrain and reaching the wheels, you are looking at another 10% loss. While much of this cannot be helped, one company based in Sweden thinks that removing the camshaft may help free up some of that wasted energy.

Renewable Fuel Standard Should Be Based On Science – Not Special Inte
2009-06-21 20:39:00 Biofuels aren’t all bad. I’m not a huge fan of corn ethanol, but scientists believe it can help cut back global warming emissions from vehicles. So fine, let’s put a few of our resources and dollars behind it. But we certainly shouldn’t spend billions converting forests and grasslands to farmlands in order to grow crops for fuel. It’s a huge waste of funding and, even worse, such irresponsibility will lead to outrageous pollution. Lobbyists are working overtime in order to pressure the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ignore…science… when creating the Renewable Fuel Standard. This is the first global warming pollution criteria for the United States dealing with ethanol, biodiesel, and other renewable fuels. In order to fix this situation and help protect our planet, we need to speak louder than the lobbyists. The EPA is holding a public comment period through July 27 on these proposed standards. Use this opportunity to contact Adm...
