Maybe look at a scoreboard. As I said. Who’s suffocated more babies under rubble. But I guess in your little world that doesn’t count, whatever the western countries say is the truth lol are you still looking for wmd in Iraq too?

Watching terrorists groups call eachother terrorists is quite entertaining. Maybe look at a scoreboard of which terrorist group has more kills if you’re confused on which one is worse

I don’t even understand why there are discussions any more. The cdc is still recommending 6 month olds to be vaccinated. That’s enough! That’s enough for me, that should be enough for anyone. No more discussion needed. It’s so asinine, diabolical and against science it’s not even needed to be discussed. Mind you they recommended ALL 6 month olds, meaning children who have had covid already. why are people still debating this? Maybe next we can debate if the air is clean in bangkok.

Do any of you tax gods understand conversions? Because basically what we do here is forex. eg what if I take 10,000 dollars and turn it into baht, and in the coming months the baht gets stronger and I make “income”. Is this not considered income? Or what is the deal. And of course the same question could be asked if I lost on the conversion for the tax year.

All that stuff up there I said about speed applies to ev too. You wanna really push an ev to get its best energy consumption… SLOW DOWN and don’t accelerate fast. I guess the main factor is wind resistence is much greater the faster you travel, so even slight reductions in speed can often offer much more efficient mileage

I told you a half dozen times. I’m driving maybe 45-50mph. You’d need to figure what speed they were driving to get that reported 25km/L (most likely common highway speeds). I’ve said all this many times. I’ve also posted figures when you drive faster you get much worse mileage. It just seems like you aren’t actually reading, but that’s fine if you don’t like the facts I’ve done about 25 trips in my car getting 30km/L. in fact I’d just like to note I do both north and south trips from bangkok, trips are about 400km. So this isn’t a 10km stretch or something I’m talking about here. I do in fact get 70mpg on many trips I have taken. If the winds blowing against me, maybe I get 27km/L… i was simply posting the max I’ve gotten, as I have gotten the 70mpg many times.

And so… where are all the “no way you get 70mpg (max) highway boys now”? look at you now as Pacino once said

There are no 3 cylinders in that list. This is a Thailand Honda. it says right on their website it gets 55mpg. And like I said, maybe that’s driving 80mph. If we assume that, and I’m driving 50mph, the numbers shake out just about right with the 30% or so savings driving that much slower 50mph vs 80mph (see previous post). https://www.honda.co.th/models-compare-result?model_id=39&grade_id=48&back_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.honda.co.th%2Fcityhatchback I really don’t care if anyone believes me I guess. I’d be willing to put up a sizeable about in PayPal however and go drive 100km down highway 4 if anyone wants to make a bet on it.

Funny because I feel like western dentists are the worst with unnecessary extractions. They absolutely love to pull every tooth because it’s a sweet payday, the more teeth in one session the better.

If it were up to me this sticker would be on every cars dashboard, oil company’s worst nightmare.

I dug into this a tad. It turns out the highway fuel mileage numbers can be calculated as high as 80mph! There’s a lot of info on cars and ideal speeds for gas mileage but usually a car will get its best mileage around 50mph. But how much better? I found info readily available if you drive 80mph vs the ideal 50mph that roughly translates to around 30% more fuel consumption! Hey don’t listen to me check it out yourselves. My numbers seem right on to me I did them myself and now I see the online numbers are sorta backing them up. Y’all aren’t forgetting it’s a 3 cylinder, right? I really don’t know how much that helps but it seems it would.

No I don’t blame you. It’s what I can get though. I think the discrepancy is the slow speed I’m driving. Everyone else would find that completely unbearable or intolerable. And cars aren’t tested at these speeds with fuel consumption figures either (I mean I’m sure they are not because it’s not typical).

What speed do they do those tests at? I would guess 65mph or even higher. If you are able to drive slower than that, say 50mph, your fuel economy is going to be much higher. I swear most people don’t know this. It’s too bad imo. I think a LOT of people would drive much slower if they knew how much gas they save. It’s also completely doable here in Thailand; you can’t really drive 50mph on most usa highways for example.

I really don’t know anything about those reported fuel estimate levels. I know I can get max 30km/L in this car if I drive a very particular way. My conversion of that is 70 miles per usa gallon. I didn’t even know there were other gallons. They do the same thing with miles eg nautical miles. There’s always something to add to the confusion

I don’t know where they get those numbers. It’s a 3 cyclinder. I’m also driving at the vehicles sweet spot, as defined by me. And it’s not very fast but the numbers are true. My main point really is I believe gas cars compete on fuel equivalence with everything considered but I could be wrong.

City hatchback 3 cylinder. I actually forget the year. Maybe a 2021. And as I mentioned you need to be cruising at around 70-80kph to get that mileage. But doing faster speeds I get in the 50-60mpg easily. and yes I would not be surprised if an ev beat my vehicle on equivalents. I just believe the overall picture withhow long we’ve been designing cars and refining the fuel that right now gas cars are better, IF we drive fuel efficient ones, which we don’t.

It’s a 3 cylinder city hatchback. I must say most people couldn’t do the 70mpg thing. I usually can’t. I’ve done trips at 70mpg but I need to keep the speed around I believe it’s 80kph or so. But yeah I agree it’s amazing. I hate to ever give govt more control but I think people should be forced into buying better fuel efficient cars. it also has some fuel efficient settings that I do use but don’t know how much they help. I think the eco fuel option does help (you lose some turbo feature or something I think), and when you’re idling in traffic you can set it to turn of and it restarts when you take your foot off the break. If I had to guess the turning off of the car at intersections is more of a gimmick but the eco fuel setting I do believe works, and the car is so light it has plenty of pickup for me.

The high tide lines not changing? A six tear old could figure it out looking at the pics. Some stuff doesn’t need scientific study. You don’t seem very bright.

I get almost 70 miles per gallon on the highway in my little honda. Idk call me crazy but I bet if you did all the environmental impact math on that an electric isn’t beating me or it’s simply in the same ballpark.

It’s so hot and the glaciers are obviously melting at unprecedented rates and yet in hua hin the high tide comes to the exact same spot as it always did

Anyone else notice an u canny resemblance to marketing model numbers / names of products? That’s just how I see it, maybe I’m biased: it’s like the new model “prestige” is out now in 2022. And then comes 2023 and they have the “eco series”. Covid model numbers are just a bit more technical, but it’s the same stuff and serves the same exact purpose.

That’s my plan too. Do you happen to drive or do you partake in one of these services? I’m probably gonna drive but seems it’ll be a bit of a pain dealing with the car and overnight parking.

Yes I admit I can see that being their reason, and it does in fact make sense! I bet that’s not the real reason then, ha.

I was laughing so hard when I saw this. They made the process way more difficult, at least imo the return Postage was the toughest most confusing part to figure (eg the website would not translate to English, I had all sorts of problems), and why… because the government refused take the money out of your fee to pay for their costs haha. It’s hilarious. That’s exactly What the fee is for… costs. And the crazy part is we should not even be charged a passport fee, it should be covered by our taxes. I have this rule: the government will never take a loss. Yep, true in this case even the 2 dollars or whatever it is. Like what’s our passport fee for? It should be for things exactly like this!

Yes. And don’t forget, if anything happens to go wrong and u need your passport, or they lose it or don’t mail it to you, you’re screwed.
