Fewer automobile enthusiasts seem to be making major, hard-core upgrades to their gasoline and diesel engines. That's really too bad because most engine modifications that increase horsepower usually also increase the efficiency of the engine, and therefore, once the novelty of the added performance has worn off and the driver settles back into a normal driving mode, the fuel economy delivered by the modified engine increases. 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://stylingperformance.search-autoparts.com/stylingandperformance/data/articlestandard/stylingandperformance/432008/560720null XML http://stylingperformance.search-autoparts.com/stylingandperformance/Industry+News/Buzz/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/560721?ref=25 Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc., a leading distributor and marketer of automotive aftermarket accessories and equipment in North America, recently announced it has bid to acquire certain operating assets of Arrow Speed Warehouse, a leading distributor in the Central and Southeastern United States.
