    I own a mid trim Grand Cherokee and commented that the performance trim's engine actually gets better gas mileage. Hence I have an excuse to get big engine.

    Yes. It doesn't really shock me. For a large ship, that's not going to be very much.

    Almost 110,000 hp should also be a shocker, but in a ship, it's a totally different story than a car.

    He's saying that the engine is meant for ships, not that the engine is a ship.

    Oh okay, Thanks for the information about the ship engine thing @Mullethead =)

    I'm sorry for not understanding that at first.

    This depends on the design. On my 2014 Civic, I have buttons to control the radio on the steering wheel, so I don't even have to take my eyes off the road to change that. As for tuning the AC, reaching for the dial and turning it is quite easy, again without removing my eyes from the road. Not all infotainments are created equally.

    You know the motor on the Civic Type R?
    At least 48,000,000 times that.
