Don't Want to Waste Electricity

You ever notice how gas prices seem to be on the rise. I have heard that in the next 2 years gas prices could double. So my usual $25 a week fill-up habit will turn into a $50 a week habit. That is just too much. I think the only way to solve this crisis is to make more gas or walk. I started looking online for electric cars the other day. clicky. It is weird, there are 10 different models and each of them is pretty cheap (10-15K), except for the electric sports car which will be priced between a Porsche and a Ferrari. The other day the world's first electric car(the GMC EV1) was being sent to a dump yard and it was being boycotted by all of the hollywierdos. They apparently would've spent over $200,000 per car and GMC decided they couldn't face the liability so they had to destroy them. If I was GMC I would've let them have the cars and make em sign waivers of liability. Reality is, they probably did not run that well. Most electric cars need to be recharged between 30 and 100 miles and take 4-6 hours to recharge. However, it is only 10 miles to my work, so an electric car to commute wouldn't be a bad idea. The body styles are pretty futuristic, except of course for the retrofitted ones. Do you know what cars are used to be turned into electric cars? The 1980 VW Rabbit. All I have to say is, why?

Thought of the Day
"I thought you said you were a good driver!"
"No no, I never said I was a good driver. I said I was a good parker."

Comments:
I think the rising gas prices have more to do with greed, than supply. I think it's the oil companys controlling the price. I can't say I'll be buying an electric car anytime soon. I almost have my regular car paid off.
