Surely that depends on how you drive it?
Surely I drive it as it was intended to be driven, do I not? Isnt that such an 80s way of driving it then?? I think not as the 80s were times of expensive fuel and the car was built in times of nearly free gas and even a few "no speed limit" highways, was it not? Lol, expensive fuel do you Americans truly know the meaning of expensive fuel compared to the Europeans?

Europeans pay the the same price or only a little more for the fuel itself but do pay significantly higher fuel taxes and is that not the cause of the disparity in price?

Yes that is the case in the disparity, but we never see our taxes separate its always included. Do you think its scaring governments the thought of losing tax money to electric cars???

No because electric cars cannot replace internal combustion engined cars for most real-life applications, do you not agree?

I disagree since most journeys completed everyday are well within the range of current electric cars. What would your ideal way of travelling to the shops??

In my case the "shops" are 20 miles away (33km) and accessible primarily only by high speed motorway for which most electric cars are not suited, right?

Most electric cars in the uk seem to have a range of 150km plus and could easily break the speed limit. Electric cars have really come on a way (Still miles behind) but do you remember those fun electric car styles of the 80s?

Ah, the electric Citicar and its ilk, cute but inefficient and oh, so failure, right?

Electric cars can go on motorway as far as I know; we have to be careful about what is supposadly green though, right?

Perhaps at the moment, but don't you agree that the price of gaz could continue climbing to absurd heights in the next few years, making electric vehicles quite profitable?

Perhaps, but do you not think OPEC will notice when demand for petroleum starts falling?
