		<description>Thank goodness! I&#039;m so relieved to see that I do not need to take the time out of my day to tell you how wrong you are Marc. All I can really expand on is what you may do to correct your views; you can open your eyes and learn the facts, or you can go back to hanging out with these folks .

Yours Truly.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t know where you get this 18-20 mpg stuff.  The 4 is supposed to range in the mid 30&#039;s plus that Ive read.



The v6 is going to be rated at around 340hp.  The DI set up sprays in cold fuel and allows them to run 12 or more compression ratio.



The GM DI runs about 2100 psi on the fuel pump on the specs Ive seen.



They all sound interesting, hope they get them up and going soon.</description>

		<description>Antonio Andolini:



Al Queda?  Really?



Allison is wrong on one point about electric cars, with a genuine concern for the environment, and now she is palling around with terrorists?  I don&#039;t remember propaganda on Koran-complaint automotive choices from Al Queda.



Or maybe it is true, only a terrorist could burn gasoline!</description>

Although the EcoBoost engine is not electric, you can charge up an electric car battery without burning more coal to produce electricity as long as you don&#039;t start charging up until after 11 o&#039;clock at night or so.  coal fired power plants have a vary limited ability to throttle back on their production and it is expensive and wastefull to stop and start very often so they run all night producing electricity even though nobody is consuming all the power that they produce.



If power companies could provide an outlet in your garage that would only supply electricity when demand dropped enough, millions of people could charge up their electric cars without burning any additional coal.</description>

		<description>GM has been using the similarly-named &quot;Ecotec&quot; engine since 2001 (started in Saturns, I believe.  Now, nearly all it&#039;s 4-cyl engines are Eco-tec).  It&#039;s all just marketing*.



I like the &quot;Ecoboost&quot; name and, personally, I think DI-Turbo technology, once it becomes mainstream, will end up saving a lot more fuel than hybrid/electric cars will.

100 million cars saving 15-20% fuel adds up to more than

1-5 million cars saving 50-100% in fuel, not to mention that there&#039;s no reason you can&#039;t have a DI-Turbo hybrid.



-Tim





*Although the Eco-tec engines are quite fuel efficient.  For example, the Ecotec 2.2L in the Cobalt XFE and G5 XFE has more torque, more power and better fuel efficiency than either Civic or Corolla for 2009.  Similarly, the Ecotec 2.4L in the  G6, Malibu and Aura outgun the Accord and Camry 4-cyls in fuel efficiency.</description>
