I would rather live in five minutes in a world comprised of your anecdotal evidence than an eternity in Obamaworld.
Here’s something else anecdotal... The feds are lying about the mileage for the new German clean diesels. In other words, EPA numbers for the new VWs are around 40 while owners are nearly unanimous that they’re getting 50 - 53 or so regardless of how or where the things are driven. For whatever reason the pols in this country want a future without IC engines and that may or may not happen depending on how far EESTOR and other super capacitor vendors get in the next year or so.
