Totally irrelevant comment

Completely pertinent comment. You're trying to tout 60mpg as something
special when it is not.


For that size of car it is. And it is smooooooooth and quiet and emits
far less crap into the air..


What CO2 and H2O...?

Unlike that coal fired power station running at 35% efficiency into a

less than 2% actually, typically.

Still you cant run a car on coal can you?
