This vehicle is semi-automatic with respect to navigation and performance. It has half a mind of it's own. It doesn't run on normal fuels. It actually runs on a ratio of two different fuel types. The “L” type and “R” type fuels are readily available, in general, but depending on where you are, one or the other may be in short supply, so you have to plan accordingly. You cannot use 100% of one fuel type unless you want to go in circles. All “L” type fuel and you will do left circles, sort of like NASCAR. And, the same for the “R” type.

It has a different lubricant as well. It uses a green lube that is added along with the fuel ratio. It's biodegradable, so that's cool, but it also degrades as time passes so it becomes less effective as it ages. It's also very expensive and sorely lacking in several areas of the country.

So this explains whats going on here in California. It only sells "L" type fuel causing us all to go around in circles and wasting our green lubricant.

Well, I believe “R” type fuels are available in this state. It becomes very interesting at the extremes. When you get drivers who like an extreme “L” type mix among drivers who prefer an extreme “R” type mix, the ensuing demolition derby can be difficult to navigate. Maybe that’s why our traffic sucks out loud. Maybe at the extreme, it’s just that nobody can get anywhere. Everything jams up to a standstill.

And the green lube spills all around, all around. And the green lube spills all around.

Haven't watched South Park since x-mas of 2000

Your comment also seem purely ideological with no consideration for facts nor reality. Ideologs - yuk.

A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.
This is why I make it a point to do this, and not by what I say, but in what I do.

I did a little experiment last night. I calculated what I needed for my next road trip. Then I added the appropriate mix and added just enough green lube per the vehicle’s calculation. Then, I put plastic under it to capture the green lube that normally drains down my driveway and into the gutter. I had hoped to capture it and put it back into the system so it wouldn’t cost so much in lube to get where I thought I wanted to go. I knew the vehicle was void of green lube before my calculation because when I got in yesterday morning and turned the key, the motor would not turn over. So, I walked to work.

This morning, I went out and collected the green stuff my plastic had captured. Success! No new stains in the driveway and the green river into the gutter was bone dry. I poured my capture into a container and added it back to the tank. When I started the vehicle and set my destination, I was informed that I needed much more green lube to get where I wanted to go. What the…..? I rechecked the driveway. Dry! The stuff doesn’t seem to evaporate. The missing volume could not all have disappeared into thin air, could it? I’ll have to test its evaporative properties more thoroughly.

Another thing I have notice is that it has a particular scent. I can’t quite place it though. Whether it is running or parked, it doesn’t matter. I looked up several reviews and they all mentioned the scent that accompanies the vehicle. How it smells seems to depend on what review site you are reading. One site describes it like a fresh, spring morning. The other site says it smells like lawn trimmings that have sat in the recycle bin for weeks. It can’t be both. I’m so confused.

I run the "R" type. But when its a 3 Ton vehicle, I pity the guy turning left in a Prius.

[Jimr]

I pity anyone in a Prius

Just kidding. Wouldn't want to get any Prius owners in an uproar.
