quote: Alternative fuel pumps are open to the public. This includes the CNG, E85, and B-20. E85 was cheaper than regular gas the last time I checked but that may have changed. NoSUV- I'm pretty sure all gasoline car drivers here are using some ethanol. I use another renewable fuel in my vehicle. NoSuv- here are the ratings for your car(unless you have changed to a different one): 02 Prius NOx .2 NMOG .156 CO 4.2 PM .02 HCHO .048 all in grams/mile In contrast here is a '06 Ford Explorer with a V8 NOx .07 NMOG .090 CO 4.2 PM .01 HCHO .018 all in grams/mile So in all categories except CO a big SUV is better than your car by an order of magnitude. Get some perspective. What are you doing to clean up your car? Here's a link people might find useful: http://www.e85fuel.com/index.php |

wagonman, I missed it with all of the data you provided - how many CF vehicles did you say you had? 1 of 2, 3 of 3?

Data does tend to obscure emotional arguements.

quote: What do I preach? That hybrids shouldn't be SOV in HOV because they aren't clean? How, may I ask, can I practice that? Buy a hybrid and then don't drive it in HOV? Sorry, I'm not going to be buying a hybrid any time soon. I DO use an alternative fuel and I am a frequent bus and metro rider. I'm creating far less pollution than you are and using far less petroleum. What are you doing again? Driving a car that's dirtier than a lot of other vehicles and not making up for it by picking up riders? I really don't think you should be pointing fingers at anyone. |

Wagonman,
But you don't get to drive HOV solo like NoSUV does. That's the only thing that matters... |
