>All right, I'll stop complaining. Complaining without trying to make things better is useless. There are some pretty smart people here. What can we constructively do to better the auto fuel situation? I suggest for starters we all make a pledge not to buy any vehicle that doesn't get at least 25 mpg. Trust me, I have owned gas hogs myself and my life is no worse without them.
I understand that when you say "gas", you mean "gasolene". Do you, perchance, have the possibility to switch to real gas? (The gaseous stuff; compressed natural gas, mainly methane and ethane, I believe.)
Many cars are doing this in Bolivia (actually, the cars become "dual"; they can use both gas and gasolene), and (at the prices we have here), it saves about 2/3 of the fuel costs. It may be, though, that gas (the real gas!) is more expensive over there.
It is supposed to be more ecological too; but it is still a non-renewable resource - and it still fills the air with CO2 (to a lesser degree than gasolene).
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
