There is a debate about making academic journals free online, but funding is the issue. Without ads and with small subscription bases, free is difficult to fund, even thoigh authors are not paid. (Remember that researchers get paid by their universities and as part of their jobs are expected to publish research in academic journals with the correct quality controls.)

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.
