...Enrile resigned from the government and announced that he was joining the opposition forces. Early in the morning of Feb. 24, a crowd of Marcos supporters armed with batons and tear gas moved toward Camp Crame, where the reformers were gathered. Over transistor radios, Marcos was heard vowing, "We'll wipe them out. It is obvious they are committing a rebellion." And over Radio Veritas came Enrile's reply: "I am not going to surrender...
...pair was at 20,600 ft. (6,300 m) when Pérez fell. Novallón left him bivouacked with food, a gas stove and a sleeping bag, as well as a realistic assessment of how long it might take for help to come. "Oscar knew it would take six or seven days for a rescue team to reach him," says Alfonso Uriel, spokesman for Peña Guara, the Huesca climbing club that has been organizing the effort. "So psychologically, he's prepared. He knows not to give up hope after just a couple of days." (Read "Blind...
...Here's the breakdown: The 230-m.p.g. number, according to GM's Frank Weber, global-vehicle-line executive for the Volt, is a measurement of the car's "city-driving cycle" - that's the 40 miles it can go without gas, plus one daily electric recharge, plus a little extra help from the gasoline it might need to continue to charge its batteries when they get low during driving in the city. It's basically measuring the Volt's electric-only-mode (with some help) mileage capacity. If the Volt got out on the highway - where it's powered largely...
...Also, if you use the electric vehicle's or hybrid's electric-only mode, the miles per gallon are "infinite or have no meaning since no gas is being consumed," according to Anthony Eggert of California's ARB. Of course, it takes oil, coal, nuclear, wind or hydro power to create the energy electric cars are powered on, so even eco saints don't get off free. To complicate matters further, if you want a hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered vehicle, like a Honda FCX Clarity, you will need to measure mileage in m.p.k., or miles per kilograms of hydrogen...
...Eggert is in charge of science and technology policy for the state agency, which sets greenhouse-gas performance standards (GHGP) and develops "miles per gasoline gallon equivalents" (MPGGE) for electric and hydrogen-fuel-cell vehicles so it can rate the amount of harmful CO2 released into the air. It's all very confusing and is likely to get even worse, according to Eggert, who doesn't "even bother" with GM's 230-m.p.g. claim. "We ignore such claims entirely," he says. "We look at total energy consumed so we can figure out how much greenhouse gas is being emitted into...
