True, but shale extraction isn't economically viable unless oil hits $80/bbl. Now that we're back in that neighborhood, expect to see something of a revival.
I think many people are too short-term minded when it comes to money. When I say $3/day, most people tend to brush that off. What I should've said was $1000/year. That tends to make people realize the difference.
Maybe consider that fracking is dangerous to our health? I mean, I'm not crazy about the idea of lighting my drinking water on fire. Cheap gas doesn't mean a thing if you can't go anywhere because of your health.
,and after caring something stinky you don't need to drive around with the windows rolled down for a week.
For me, Gas prices in so cal hovering close to 5.00 a gallon. MPG makes a huge difference.
It doesn't. It comes from objective sources and common sense. People in the industry have a vested interest in the success of the industry. I take what they'd have to say with a grain of salt.
A plug in hybrid can work that way - the first X miles on electric, or some let you choose if you want full electric or full gas or full hybrid. A hybrid like the mav doesn't work that way. There is a mix of gas and battery. It doesn't go X miles on electric and then switch over to gas.
Not as bad as someone that thinks they know it all. I have always been able to get better than EPA on any non-hybrid vehicle since hybrids are always pumped up AND have crappy hard rubber tires to squeeze even more into the estimate. So keep your uneducated opinions that you pull out of you backside to yourself kitty boy.
I'll take that bet. At 80+ mph, the turbo will come out ahead.
