...whenever energy is converted from one form to another part of it is lost in the conversion. Converting oil / gas / coal to boil water to turn to steam to turn a generator to generate electricity is an energy consuming process. Putting the fuel in the vehicle that is actually going to use it is going to be the most efficient.

...the next thing is my own opinion. Have no data (other than my normal kingly brilliance) to link this to. IMHO it is more efficient to store the fuel in one place and bring the vehicles there than it is to send it out over a fragile and overworked grid. If California ever forces these electric cars on people ya gonna see the grid collapse regularly when everybody gets off work, goes home, plugs in their car, turn on the tv, the computer and starts cooking in their all electric homes.

In my foggy brain I keep thinking I remember once reading an article that showed how much money it would cost to recharge one of these Electric overpriced cars by plugging them into your house electric. The results I read was that it was more money than filling your gas tank up with regular unleaded gas...

Does anyone else know anything about that or remember better than fogged up brain. That doggone anesthesia did a number on me this last time. Its slowly coming back but I am really have some memory issues from this.

The other thing I was giving thought to was a plain old HYBRID powered vehicle which uses an electric motor to assist and actually some of the hybrid cars get very excellent fuel economy..

I'm kinda thinking about getting one because it would realy raise the MPG we get on our Tuscon SUV which is a really nice compact SUV. I bought it for Miz micro across the state at a dealership there that took it in trade from an elderly couple like Ribit who simply did not drive much. It had 11,000 miles on it and it was 3 years old..

But I am interested in a hybrid for the gas mileage..

Just wondered if any of y'all had any experience with one or knows anything about them.

My daughter had a Prius 5 that was really nice. She kept it for years and then decided she would buy an Audi.

I guess she makes plenty so why not. Happy for her and her career. When I am gone my kids will be well off.


Thanks in advance!
