I would think such a widely circulated paper would have the resources to pay rational contributors, but then I guess reason never did sell.
"Opinion Editorials" (OpEds) in any paper are biased. That's why it's called "opinion." But this piece is not an opinion piece. It is a news piece reporting on a formal report and seeking professional commentary in one of the best-resourced and responsible news gathering and reporting organizations in the world.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
