dogpoo: gas ice are 35+% efficient. diesels are just over 40% - mainly because of the turbo. hcci will offer diesel-like efficiency. complicated transmissions eat ~15% power. so about 33% power to the ground at best. electric motors can be up to 97% efficient (honda ima eg.) a single gear transmission loses around 5%. the inverter is 96%. so it transmits 85+% power to the GROUND. who drives with the sub blasting like a retard?! normal listening level - 90 dB -uses 1 W!

Well what if I wanted to install a subwoofer or a sound system, which would drain the battery like crazy!!!! or use the A/C (which runs on the battery pack in the Prius) Or what if I lived somewhere where i got "dirty energy" (ie. from coal) and I couldn't afford solar panels, like most middle class North Americans? That would offset the whole point of the electric car. She didn't answer these questions. And I hate the fact that she drove like a retarded geriatric, going 20km/h on a main road

you keep answering statements i dont make. WHY IS THAT.

mr2ya (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

DUDE! if one farmer does then a fraction is met, why do think only one person will be doing this. wake up man! its moonshine. means that is the process not the shiners are going to supply us all. why do you take the most drastic look at everything. solve nothing! i think making our on fuel will solve alot, no more ppl trying to blow us up because we take thier oil. you can make more power with a Ethanol engine than gas, plz tell me im wrong, so i can explain that to you also.

mr2ya (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

I think its more like 500000

mr2ya (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Im sorry you go spreading lies about something you dont understand, just because the mags and movies tell you so. The biggest point i waited to tell you was the government and oil corps are gearing up to change over to Ethanol, so i guess your gonna grab a ehtanol car before its all over, HAHA. Never once said Ethanol was new. This small fraction you keep talking about, Gee I wonder if the oil corps know that. HAHA LOL. And why the hell would i starve, you cant be seriuos?

mr2ya> PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, OK, I feel deeply sorry I wasted my time discussing the topic with you. You're just relentless in your points'n'facts-immune attitude. Go believe in your no-new-energy biofuel and start starving for the sake of satisfying a small fraction of oil demands. Me, on the other hand, I'll grab a plug-in hybrid. BTW, I have MSc from a technical university.

oil is needed for the tractor for ethanol, you said. you are the problem. spreading the rumor and lies about these things. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FIND A ENGINEER BUY HIM DINNER AND LET HIM EXPLAIN ALL THE POINTS THAT YOU ARE INCORRECT ABOUT, HE WILL PUT THIS ALL INTO PERSPECTIVE FOR YOU, TRUST ME YOU NEED IT!
