- Audi optimized the hybrid system in the A5 for increased electric driving, offering regenerative braking options and an automatic mode that adjusts regen levels based on driving conditions.
- The A5 e-hybrid allows for full-EV or hybrid driving modes, with efficiency figures ranging between 117 and 87 mpg with a full battery, and fuel economy between 37 and 31 mpg when the battery is depleted.

It's not just setting Teslas on fire. Now irate Americans are shoplifting from Whole Foods.
- Americans are increasingly turning to shoplifting from Whole Foods as a form of retaliation, justifying their actions based on Jeff Bezos' wealth and business practices.
- Some individuals feel morally justified in stealing from the affluent Bezos to balance the scales, viewing it as a Robin Hood-esque act of taking from the rich to benefit themselves.
- Shoplifters from Whole Foods cite reasons such as Bezos' wealth accumulation and business practices as motivation for their actions, with some viewing it as a way to push back against perceived exploitation.
- The thefts are not limited to food items; some individuals exploit loopholes in return policies of companies like Amazon to acquire free goods or money, rationalizing their actions by minimizing the impact on the wealthy corporations.
- While the shoplifters may believe they are seeking retribution against Bezos and his companies, their actions could have unintended consequences, impacting store employees and potentially leading to price increases for consumers.
- Experts suggest that individuals engaging in these behaviors may do so as a response to feelings of powerlessness in the face of economic disparities and corporate dominance.
- The prevalence of retail theft involving middle-class consumers reflects a growing trend, characterized by a sense of entitlement and moral justification based on disdain for corporate entities like Amazon.
- Theft and fraud not only raise ethical concerns but also pose potential risks to businesses and individuals, leading to increased vigilance in retail security measures.
- Despite attempts to rationalize shoplifting as a form of protest against Bezos and Amazon, the legality and broader implications of these actions highlight the complexities of ethical decision-making in a consumer-driven society.
- Individuals exploring unauthorized means to retaliate against corporations like Amazon may inadvertently contribute to operational challenges and financial losses for businesses and their stakeholders.
