Oddly, with more gears to spread the workload, the DSG car posts
the same acceleration figures and its fuel consumption rises mildly from 4.4 L / 100 km to 4.6 (or from 101g / km of CO2 to 105).
Not exact matches
According to this June's Financial Times «Expenditure by local and central governments in China jumped nearly 25 per cent from the
same month a year earlier, a sharp
acceleration from the 9.6 per cent growth registered in the first four months of the year, according to
figures released by the finance ministry,» and HSBC's Flash PMI index suggests for the first time in six months that there has been an expansion in manufacturing, although the flash index is, of course, preliminary and may be revised.
These cars are two different answers to the
same question; they offer similar braking,
acceleration, and lateral - grip performance
figures and yet feel nothing like each other.
Acceleration from 80 to 120km / h takes about 4.3 sec according to BMW's own
figures — the standard i3 does the
same jump in 5.1 sec, so it feels faster.
In these models, too, the first - hand boost in power optimises
acceleration capacity and elasticity while retaining the
same fuel consumption and emission
figures according to the EU test cycle.
Your «woodfortrees» graph shows clearly that the warming rate in the first half of the 20th century was around twice that over the entire century, apparently telling us that the warming rate has decelerated (if we use the
same «smoke and mirrors» approach used by IPCC in it infamous AR4 WG1 FAQ 3.1,
Figure 1 (p. 253) with trend lines drawn over ever decreasing time periods, trying to demonstrate an
acceleration in the warming trend).
This is a «bogus» comparison of shorter and longer - term trends, as is the IPCC chart in AR4 WG1 Ch.3 (FAQ 3.1
Figure 1), which carries this «bogus» comparison to extremes, in an attempt to show the
same (non-existent)
acceleration in warming.
