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

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?
