Improving Your Mini Cooper Gas Mileage
by Don Racine

Most engines (and all Minis) use an electric spark to start the burning of the fuel/air mixture which in turn powers the car. If the engine is to run properly this 'electric spark' must happen at the exact right time.

SprintBooster - Improve Throttle Response in your "Other" Vehicle.

SprintBooster changes the throttle response in the low to mid rpm range where cars spend a majority of their time. As a result, your car feels peppier and more powerful.

Mini Cooper Verto Clutch Information

This article has been written owing to the increasing amount of people who ring Mini Spares stating that their 1275cc Injection type Mini will not start after fitting a new clutch, especially when they have purchased the parts from another supplier, usually a motor factoring company, rather than a Mini specialist.. There are 2 types of Pressure plates, namely AP (Automotive Products) and Valeo.

Even with gas prices decreasing over the last week, a trip to the pump can still be painful. Friday, News 3's Jerry Brown got behind the wheel of an automobile, developed by a Nevada Company that you won't be seeing at your local gas stations.

The first thing you notice is that it's quiet. The second thing: it's quick. Hybrid Technologies, a Las Vegas-based company, was showing off its newest and greenest converted vehicle Friday. This lithium-powered, all-electric "Flash" was first created in England as a BMW Mini Cooper. It traded horsepower for kilowatts - 67 to be exact - and now can travel 120 miles using a $2.20 charge of electricity. It's top speed is 80 miles per hour, and maintenance, compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, is not a problem.

The Flash drives smoothly, and unlike neighborhood electric vehicles known as "NEVs," this vehicle has no federally mandated speed restrictions built into it. Stepping on the accelerator has never been more guilt-free.

The all-electric Flash will set you back $77,000 - new technology isn't cheap. Hybrid Technologies also produces an all-electric converted PT Cruiser, and for SUV lovers, they offer an all-electric Pontiac Vibe.
