Since it happens at around 140F, you'd have to keep the engine pretty warm
to avoid the sudden vaporization. I don't recall it being a serious
driveability problem, but the short exhaust emissions spike due to excess
fuel might lead to problems meeting the latest and future US/EURO emissions

Very eloquent, nice. Mostly I agree, in some ways very much so, but I
think you miss a couple of crucial points, and thus end up with the
wrong conclusion.
One is overpopulation, and the idea that real progress and

I worked as an engineer for the Ford / VW Joint Venture in Brazil about 10

It seems to me that this "environmentalism is dead" movement is

the response to them is futile. The soluti
