Preserve Vehicle Value Beyond Your Wildest Clean

By simply cleaning your vehicle it will not only give you a sense of pride and accomplishment, but it also protects your valuable vehicle investment. Prevent the buildup of damaging chemicals and dirt by polishing your vehicle every 6 months and washing it once a week. Remember to always use cleaning solutions that are designed to keep the manufacturer paint and finish remain intact. Don’t forget to check for dents, dings, and scratches since this can lead to expensive repairs down the road!

Audi opens renewable energy E-gas plant in Germany

Audi has opened the doors to its new power-to-gas facility, which will make what the automaker calls E-gas, in Werlte, Germany. The plant produces hydrogen and synthetic methane and these clean fuels come from renewable energy, water and carbon dioxide. Audi says it's the first automaker to "develop a chain of sustainable energy carriers."

"The power-to-gas facility we built in Werlte can become a beacon project for the entire energy revolution, far beyond the boundaries of our company," Peter Altmaier, German Federal Minister of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, said at the inaugural ceremony, as quoted in the Audi press release (available below).

The Audi E-gas plant uses electrolysis to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen, which will someday power fuel-cell vehicles. For now, methanation is the process used to make the synthetic natural gas. Audi reacts the hydrogen with CO2 to generate renewable synthetic methane. The E-gas can be delivered through existing natural gas pipes since, chemically speaking, it's nearly identical to natural gas. Delivery of E-gas through the infrastructure is scheduled to start in the fall of 2013.

Audi says E-gas from the plant can power 1,500 new Audi A3 Sportback G-tron vehicles for 15,000 CO2-neutral kilometers (about 9,321 miles) each year. The Werlte plant is part of Audi's comprehensive e-fuels strategy and sustainability initiative. In parallel with the E-gas plant in Werlte, Audi also runs a research facility in Hobbs, NM, for the production of E-ethanol and E-diesel in collaboration with renewable fuel company Joule.

There could be another reason for building the plant beyond sustainability. New vehicle sales in Europe are experiencing a serious downturn. Analysts also say that global OEMs are starting to transform their identities from "automakers" to "mobility companies," so Audi's e-gas plant could cover a few strategic agendas.

Car Tip of the Week

Car Tip of the Week: Buy gas at reputable service stations

Ask whether the gas you buy is filtered at the pump and if the station has a policy about changing the pump filters regularly. If you get a song and dance, find another gas station. Some stations don’t have pump filters, making you more vulnerable to dirty gasoline. Other stations may not mix alcohol and fuel properly — or worse, water down their product. Find a station you trust and stick to it.

Kudos to Mike for receiving a Five Star Review on Cars.com!

I originally went in to check out the A4 and decide if it was a "finalist" on my compact, luxury sport sedan list (included the MB C300 and BMW 328 x-Drive). I planned to wait for the new Infiniti before making a buying decision. I worked with Mike Gioia who gave a nice overview of the A4, but I found the seat was not a good fit for me. He suggested I try the A6, even though it was beyond the price range I was looking to pay. Still wanting to wait for the new Infiniti (I was currently driving a G35x that I really enjoyed), Mike followed up a few weeks later with an offer on a fabulous car that I just couldn't pass up. The buying process went smoothly, though the finance person was a little too persistent in pushing an extended warranty. Mike was pleasant and helpful and has continued to follow up following the sale to make sure I've been able to get all of the customization configured just right.

Leading a team to victory at Le Mans is no easy task, but Audi Sport's Lead Engineer Leena Gade has never backed down from a challenge. Maybe that's why she's won the 24-hour endurance race. More than once.

Way to go Jeff! Jeff has received another Five Star Review on Cars.com!

I bought a new A4 last week and had a excellent experience with this Willow Grove. Jeff Rosen was my salesperson and he attentive to all my needs. He was very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time going over the advanced technology features when I picked up my car.

Here’s your weekly “Maintenance Tip”: Maintain Your Air Conditioning!

If you've ever lost your air conditioning on a hot summer day, then you know what a big difference a little cool air makes. The best way to tell if your air conditioner has a problem is if it can't generate or maintain air temperatures that are 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) below the ambient outside air temperature.
