US airlines and the car industry are bellwethers for the changes being wrought by the surging cost of oil. How both industries, long considered to be ‘old’, ‘mature’ and unwanted groups of polluting carbon emitters, handle their restructuring, will tell us a lot about how the rest of the world economy can handle the move to high energy costs (and food costs) and rising carbon costs.

For some reason, car enthusiasts love throwing this out when it comes to a redesigned model.

How can a simple oil change turn into $786.49 in repairs? I will tell you -- it's magic. You need an oil change, maybe ask the guy to check out the fan belt which is making a weird noise and before the day is out you leave with a new radiator, some spark plugs and apparently the grave of Al Capone. It's very mysterious, car repair. I love my Jeep. This is the first major repair Big Red has needed in almost two years so I'm happy he likes his new radiator, the third one we've purchased togetheAnother "Recession-proof" Myth Busted
Myth: "The used car market is recession-proof, because when times are hard, people buy used cars." CarMax, the large used car chain which reported a steep drop in earnings last quarter, now says that the price of used SUVs and trucks is falling sharply. Although it was not in the news story, the drop in SUV and truck prices is probably not fully compensated by rising values of fuel-efficient cars. So the value of the CarMax inventory is dropping. Let's talk about that myth. I'll grant that sGM Next Generation Trucks - Delayed!
General Motors, along with Ford and Chrysler, and to a lesser extent Toyota and Nissan, are heavily vested in large trucks and SUVs, two automotive segments that have collapsed in the face of the most recent run up in fuel prices this year. The Detroit 3 get the lion’s share of their profits from these vehicles, but customers are turning away from them in droves. As a result of the seismic shift in customer demand, General Motors is planning to delay building the next generation of their larUsed SUV Prices Plummet; Hilarity Ensues

But the news is pretty bad if, if you’re like Danny Fields, and just bought one. “It's got the upgraded wheels, the tailgate is chrome, the gas cap is chrome,” Fields shows off his Dodge Ram pickup truck. “And the best thing that I like about it is automatic startup.” So why sell the truck? “Gas prices mainly,” he says. “I love the truck, A New Car

Well, our SUV is coming off of lease. We had thought to buy a less expensive hybrid with better gasoline mileage, however, my wife was unhappy with the vehicle performance and prefers the higher seating / positioning of an SUV - she can more easily see over traffic. The fact that it's a luxury SUV means that it's much nicer and more comfortable on the insides, as well - though I think that was less important in her decision making - she likes the HP / engine performance.

Buying a used hybrid car? Watch out for hidden costs! Photo courtesy of efusco at Flickr.com. Hybrid cars make me drool. The idea of getting 50 miles per gallon instead of 25 is almost enough to make me run out and get one today. But, hybrid cars are expensive and there’s an environmental case to be made for getting the full life out of my current car before I go shopping for a new toy. It’s tempting to try for the best of both worlds and shop around for a used hybrid car. But, wScientists Make Bacteria That Eat Waste and Excrete Petroleum
This is too cool!! I knew we had bacteria that would eat petroleum when seeded into oil slicks (that have been contained by your favorite New Pig product) on water. If I remember right, this bacteria would then die and degrade without harming the environment. How clever to develop one that excretes petroleum!! I hope it can be made practical someday. “Ten years ago I could never have imagined I’d be doing this,” says Greg Pal, 33, a former software executive, as he squints into the late afterthe financial impact of the gasoline-driven church

It’s been a while since I’d spent this much time in the Escape. A Ford Escape is not a gigantic, hulking vehicle, but it can sure seem that way when you spend most of your time riding a scooter. I was on my way to work, taking 5th Avenue as I would with the PX. There’s really nothing to be gained by getting on the Alaskan Way Viaduct, even though it would be a much less stressful trip inside a, well, cage.
