It's only fair to pin every oil spill on gas cars, too.
I don't understand the animosity of this group toward electric cars. Yes,
the technology isn't for everyone, but then neither is diesel. (Arguably
they are for opposite ends of the spectrum.) Electric is more efficient

The problem with pure electrics may be that many people drive further on a

The solution? Why not add a second battery pack to a Leaf, for example,

Good point. You only need a five minute charge if you're just stopping at home
for five minutes. If you're just stopping for five minutes, it's probably to
pick up the S550 and the Volt will be recharged before you come home

Excellent - glad to hear from real world experience. I figure you got the
equivilent of 90+ MPG based on $15for 400 miles, if gas was $3.50/gal.
Sounds like the right choice for your usage.

Got this from an old friend who has had a Volt for about a year:
We still like the Volt very much. We get about 44 miles on a full charge,
and rarely use all of the charge per day. We never buy gasoline unless we go
on a trip and even then we get 45 mpg. A total charge costs us about one
By definition, a turbine is more economical than internal combustion due to
higher efficiency. However, I doubt meeting emissions requirements is in the
cards. Then there is the pavement melting exhaust temperatures and the noise.

Diesel preferred.
Yes - I've heard. Regular unleaded is $3.55, premium is $3.80, and Diesel
is $4.30 today here in the OKC area. No shortages yet, but the Diesel sure
shot up in price. Even at 45 mpg that price is noticable.
