NOT ONLY should the DEEP STATE stop pushing electric cars, we should get rid of ALL the PC crap loaded into vehicles. Cars need to be made GREAT AGAIN!
All this nonsense started when they started banning engines that burned leaded fuel (which should be brought back, for those who want them). Cars have not been the same since.
And you didn’t mention the ethanol abortion.
The worst is the crap that turns off the engine every time you stop the car. I bought a 2017 Audi that had that. Man, that was annoying and certainly all that stopping and starting can't be good for the engine. Thankfully, with the help of some folks on the Audi forum I was able to hack the ECU to permanently disable it.
Did you know gasoline never did come naturally with lead in it? The auto makers asked the gas companies to add it to help lube the top end of car engines.
When it was left out there really wasn’t an earth shattering difference so it didn’t actually make engines run better or cause the valves to burn out all of a sudden. Since then they simply changed how they make the valve seats and valves to put up with a little more heat. We were sold a load of bull about lead in the gas. Maybe back in the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s it helped but not much after that.
What really irked me was the gas companies charged extra to put lead in the gas (that was understandable) but then they charged extra for not putting it in. They actually charged more for not doing something and not adding the lead additive. Crazy. It had become a scam.
