🧠#FactsFriday time via @facts!⁠ ⁠ 🚗 Automatics are much more utilitarian cars that get people from point A to point B, said Lauren Fix, the Car Coach in 2022. As such, Americans are much more likely to be doing several things at once when they’re driving. That’s not the case in the rest of the world. “Americans eat while they drive and they multitask while they drive,” Fix says. “Europeans do not.” Although, it should be noted that eating while you drive is definitely one of the things you’re doing in your car that you shouldn’t.⁠ ⁠ Europeans are also more likely to own higher-end cars. You would never see a manual Porsche Cayenne in the United States. But you will in Europe.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ 🚘️ The preference starts early. In Europe, 15- and 16-year-olds learn to drive on Microcars with stick shifts. Fix said she did not know anyone in Europe who doesn’t know how to drive one. In addition, driving a car with manual transmission forces people to be more engaged with their car and what’s going on around them.⁠ “They pay attention to the road much more so than we do here in the United States,” Fix said. “I have been all over Europe and nobody’s on the phone while driving. Not even on speakerphone. They just don’t. That’s just not part of their culture.”⁠ ⁠ That’s not to say that the Europeans don’t have fun on the road. Germany is also home to the Autobahn, where there’s no speed limit and drivers are often going well over 100 mph. Europeans also prefer cars with manual transmissions because they use less fuel—an important consideration when people in Norway pay an average of $7.82 for a gallon of gas, according to Sixt.com in 2022.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ 📲 Get the link for this post, plus your daily dose of trivia and knowledge 365 days a year at @facts.⁠ ⁠.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #cars #drivingcars #car #drivingmanual #drivingautomatic #manualtransmission #automatictransmission #funfact #funnyfacts #wowfacts #facts #allfacts #fact #fyi

(via @facts) 🏎️ For regular passenger cars, an oil change is recommended every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, which equates to about twice a year. Generally, a Bugatti oil change is suggested once a year. Bugatti drivers don’t typically put the mileage on their vehicle like it’s a daily driver, but it’s important to keep fresh oil in the engine regardless. Oil breaks down over time, even if the car isn’t driven every day. Usually, all fluid checks and other routine maintenances are performed during a Bugatti oil change as well. ⁠ ⁠ The exclusivity of a Bugatti, the labor involved, and the quality of the materials used, contribute to the price of an oil change.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ Source: link in bio @facts. 🔗
