Well of course grease and lubricants will need to be produced, thats inevitable, but compare that to the amount of using fuel ( will say a car that averages 280-400mpg on a 18 gallon tank) times that by 100,000, then times it by 19, which is the lbs. that 1 gallon produces, and that gives you how much you produce, and thatss if you ONLY go 100,000, but seeing as today people get 200,000+ miles.
If America will get off their high horse, shell out the money and really grasp the usage of wind and solar power, and use that to charge your car, you really cant do the math in your head, but I can sure as hell tell you its alot less then an average car using fossil fuels
I was thinking of turning my 3000GT into an electric vehicle, and using my land to put up a couple windmills to chargee it over night with, but I really want to put an aluminum V8 in it cause it's sexy enough to have that sound.
to get back on topic though, being a former Toyota employee, the stereotype fits the owner of hybrid cars, oh god were they so smug when they came in, and they would ride us up and down to try and get them dirt cheap, as though we should pay THEM for getting one because they are saving the enviroment.....and yes, half of them would come in with a Starbucks coffee, it was really hard to not laugh when you'd see that.
