I guess peopel are just buzzing through my post, not reading it carefully, like I said they are stretching the mileage that they use that fuel. I understand that if car A can do 15 mpg and car B can do 50mpg who will fill up less between a given distance....but what Im saying is no matter how you look at it, when you burn a gallon of gas, you emitt 19lbs. of Co2, there's no gettign around that, that is a fact. and Oil isnt a source that renews itself, once it's gone it's gone.

This isnt ****ing college, I'm not giving an exam and you have to decipher it, I'm just making an example, holy ****ing ****, just take the example and stop picking it apart, admin or not your being a ****ing douche about it.

I do understand your argument about the wind and inconsistent production, but remember, electricity is still in it's infancy as far as technology, production, and longevity goes, but if we make no strides today to advance it tomorrow, then there will come a time when crisis strikes and we will be standing there shrugging our shoulders realizing the **** hit the fan. Just look what has occured in the last 10-15 years. When the EV came out, it didnt have Li batteries, if that technology was available back then, it certainly would of started an advancement on mass production of EV's ( albait it wouldnt of halted America's thirst for overly sized, gas guzzling **** boxes), hell 15 years later and were FINALLY starting to see production, not in mass quantity for the average joe, but it's better then nothing. Electric is the way, it will take time, and as time continues, it will be more refined, and more consistant, just like the gas motor, it took a century to make it refined. In 1908, Mercedes ( Not Mercdes Benz, at that time, Benz was their own company) produced a 12.78 litre 4 cylinder producing a whopping 140 hp! Today there's 1.5 litre cars producing the same thing, and I'm sure, are getting better gas mileage. Only now in the past 30 years have we realized how expensive, and how enviromentally hazardous dealing with fossil fuels ( I'm sure batteries arent exactly safe as well) But give it time, when new technology, procedures, and better compounds and materials used, and it will kill the gas engine. As sadden as I am because that also means taht my love for vintage cars will also be gone, sometimes we have to give up what we hold most dear to become better off in the long run.
