The Porsche 918 Spyder looks like it will perhaps be the most fun hybrid available. The car will be able to be extremely frugal with fuel or can be a monster with more than 770hp available when the electric motor boosts the strong V8 gas powered engine.

What began as a “clean and green” beginning for the second round of the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama doubleheader at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, rapidly turned into a dogfight that culminated in a five-car incident just before the checkered flag fell on the weather-shortened 40-lap race today. And while foggy, inclement weather may [...]

Over at the Jalopnik blog today they had an “ask me anything” featuring Rutledge Wood of U.S. Top Gear fame. I was able to ask him what his favorite performance car brand is and he answered Porsche (and apparently we have that in common). You can read the full “ask me anything” conversation here. In [...]

Recently, I wrote a post about the EPA raising the allowed level of ethanol in gasoline to 15% for regular cars and what we can do about it (you can read the original post here). After getting a lot of feedback from many people about the post and many have suggested starting a petition to [...]

Not very long ago the EPA OK’d 15% ethanol in gasoline. They originally OK’d it in 2010, but a class action law suite delayed this. Unfortunately, they ultimately have been able to get it OK’d.
