...While I applaud gm for going hybrid, i question the wisdom of debuting the technology in an SUV. Twenty miles per gallon (12 liters/100 km) is nothing to brag about, regardless of vehicle size. I get 32 m.p.g. driving a Chevy Malibu in rural Vermont. By putting hybrid power in an SUV, GM shows it still doesn't quite get the idea. George Simpson, Pittsfield, Vermont...
...Harvard Hooch,” FM’s version of prison rotgut. Sure, it might taste like sewage, but who cares? It’s free. You can get all the ingredients you need right in the dining hall. Grab a trash bag, a gallon of orange juice, two cups of sugar, and two crusty dinner rolls. Toss the juice and rolls in the trash bag and twist it shut while leaving enough empty space for gases to build up.

That's pretty much the same in cents per gallon, roughly, so about two cents per gallon or 14 cents per gallon...
...bigger spoon caused me to serve myself almost 15% more, the big plate 25% more. I also overestimate--by 50%--when I try to pour a shot into a wide glass instead of a tall one, a problem even professional bartenders can't overcome.

And a lot of it is thanks to the plane's composite construction. Optimally, the 787 will get 100 miles per gallon per seat, compared to the 76 passenger miles per gallon of a 767. Air filters will reduce the smell of fuel. Relative humidity will be up to about 15%, from the industry average of about 5%. Cabin pressure will be set for a lower, more comfortable altitude, 6,000 ft. down from 8,000 ft. All interior...
