do germans move their cars like the flintstones or how do they manage to have fuel/battery for 74hrs?
Two words: German Efficiency
I hear their gas devices are very efficient.
Gassing out your soldiers during the first deployment of chemical weapons because you forgot about the wind is less than impressive.
it's a flintstones thing then
Since you're in a roundabout, you just need a large funnel into the gas tank. Every time around, someone standing at the side pours a bit of fuel in while you pass, so you get a splash of fuel per lap!
Their cars run off centrifugal force.
Just add a long range tank in the trunk.
A normal car can do 1600 km or 1000 miles on a tank. By normal of course I mean diesel-powered German executive class sedan or wagon with an 80 liter tank.
At the low speeds of the roundabout, you might use more fuel, so maybe it'll only do 1200 km on a tank. Just use a long range tank and you're golden. They use them in endurance racing, or to go illegally fast for extended periods of time in Cannonball Runs.
There’s a few diesel cars that can reach that distance on one tank (though it requires hypermiling)
I did not know
means making post-purchase changes to your car to make it more efficient. Why wouldn’t manufacturers sell them in better quality to begin with?
Not necessarily, it can mean disabling aircon, driving the lower speed limit, taking a flatter route, etc
It’s not always about quality or performance, you want cars to be comfortable too, which is why you have to make tradeoffs. One thing hypermilers sometimes do is taping the seams on the hood, door, etc to improve aerodynamics. You could make a car from factory without seams in the body, but you won’t sell very many unless you can convince people to crawl in through a window.
Other things may be prohibitively expensive, or not durable, so you make tradeoffs. As efficient as possible while staying within the chosen price class and providing a certain standard of comfort.
Remarkably interesting and human details—thank you for taking the time.
Easy, just pick a roundabout that goes downhill.
