    Not to mention the nickel is mined mostly in sudsburry Ontario, shipped to china to be processed into nickel foam, then shipped to Japan for the batteries to be built, then the finished batteries are sent to the plants where the car is built. So aside from the nightmare of disposing the batteries, more energy goes into making the batteries than the hybrid fans realize. Side note euro diesels are getting over 90 mpg in the city

    They always seem shocked when you tell them their Prius has already done a million miles before it got to the dealer.
    My Feedback
    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

    Notice the sign "display only" must have had an issue with people (guys) bitching why the damn things aren't dispensing

    Curious what you've found with regard to diesels, with it is a less refined fuel, and higher mpg than a gasser for any application.
