Thus it is often cheaper to buy regular gas engine vehicles and pay for more in gas, especially if you are not going to own the car for a multitude of years. Of course, over time, paying more for the hybrid now will reap savings...but only after a certain point in the futureBTideRollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01083123563086732060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10532650.post-1155305557479644732006-08-11T07:12:00.000-07:002006-08-11T07:12:00.000-07:00I say export the illegals and switch to Ethenol.<BR/><BR/>Ethenol is the way of the future. Look it up. South America is using it and Ford already manufacture's Ethenol-running vehicles in South America...so it is ENTIRELY possible.<BR/><BR/>They make their fuel from their sugar cane crops and fruit. Last I heard is that the fuel would cost the consumer around $0.27 a gallon. We could use all of the WASTE we produce in the US and make our fuel at a fraction of the cost. For example, orange peels that are likely used in compost, or any other ethenol producing byproduct. Maybe cornstalks can make it too, I'm not sure.BTideRollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01083123563086732060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10532650.post-1155297862988770342006-08-11T05:04:00.000-07:002006-08-11T05:04:00.000-07:00Gas saving tip for America. Export the eleven million plus illegals in this country and that will be over eleven million less people using gas.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure, with today's technology, they could build an electric car everyone would like unless you have to have loud pipes. There have been a lot of improved electric motors such as the Magnepulsion engine that are super effecient. Combine that with solar panels, flywheel braking, shock absorber pump generating, effecient batteries and the like and I think they would have something. Of course that's simply a layman's take on it, but if I'm aware of such possibilities I'm sure the people in the business know much more. Of course the first such proposed car would immediately be bought up by the petroleum consortium for more than the manufacturer could hope to gain in profit, and we still wouldn't see it.Fishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12957070306862760950noreply@blogger.com
