How do you feel about cars and how much gas they burn?

Posted by admin on Aug 15th

I went to this website and learned A LOT and i want your honest input about some of the things that this website claims about gasoline,ethanol,hybrid,hydrogen,etc. powered cars.

What are your thoughts after going to that website?

what are you trying to say steve? im not pro electric cars at all and never said i was so umm, lets try to be a little more smart when posting things.

i just want honest feedback

I think a person can post only what they want to, to get the point across they want to.

I’m almost 60 years old, Ive owned a car since I was 15. I cant imagine doing what I do without one.

I like the Ferrari 599. It’s fast and it gets 21.3 mpg which is awesome for an exotic car.

Here’s the drill. There are a lot of people who firmly believe that hydrogen, biodiesel, electric, or hybrid cars will be the future of the automobile. What they understand in technology is sound, but what they understand about simple math and practicality are somewhat suspect. Let’s look at some realities. First, hydrogen is a very inefficient method of fueling a car. It costs a lot to produce, takes an enourmous amount of energy to produce, and it actually takes more energy to produce than it actually has stored in it. Biodiesel and ethanol, while they are perfectly workable alternatives that are currently in use, cannot be produced in the quantities we need without planting a coast-to-coast cornfield and devoting all of our agricultural capacity to producing biofuels. Hybrids are a great alternative, but are currently too expensive. There is also the problem of replacing and disposing of dead batteries. We are rapidly using up all the ‘easy oil”, and we will be forced like we are now to get it from the hard places like the North Sea and Alaska, and from harder-to-extract sources like shale. The absolute reality is that we must use less fuel than we are. That means more efficient cars and less driving. America leads the way in gross overconsumption because the nation has been spoiled by arguably the cheapest gas on the planet. When gas hits four or five bucks a gallon, that’s when the nation will conserve. It’s painfully obvious that three and a half bucks isn’t triggering the conservation movement. Petroleum isn’t going away any time soon as our prime fuel source, and the only really promising alternative is the hybrid because it uses existing technology and the existing petroleum infrastructure.

Public transport: you must move PEOPLE, not vehicles. The answer is RATIONAL use of private cars, don´t matter what fuel they use. I agree with previous user that hydrogen is a problem and that biodiesel too, batteries can be developped more to avoid the problem of final disposition. But the secret is still move PEOPLE, not vehicles. Fuels must be used efficiently, conservation must be the priority. It´s sad that the website don´t talk about public transport, only about cars. Electricity is being used in trains since 1879, in tramways since 1889 and in trolleybuses (or trackless trolleys or electric trolley coaches) since 1882. Rational use of cars means use of public transport too.

Cars and gasoline. Can’t live with them and can’t live without them, right? If it were as economical to power a car with anything but gasoline we’d all be driving it now. The naked truth is gasoline is the cheapest source of power for cars today. The naked truth is even with battery technology up to the task it will still take a fossil fuel power plant to charge the batteries. To refine ethanol, hydrogen, and all other current attempts to replace gasoline as a source of fuel it still requires the use of oil based fuel to make them work as well. There is no free lunch.
