So I'm still doing worse than an eclectric, with my 90-day average of 4.1 l/100km. Or am I? Over 90% of Poland's electricity is from coal, a large part of that from lignite. If I had an EV, I'd increase the demand on the grid and it would be easier for the gov't to force the construction of the world's two largest lignite strip mines. So for now, I'll keep hypermiling, then maybe start home brewing biodiesel...

Haven't you ever heard of clean coal? Both have a lot in common with Orange4boy's unicorn... But that's another thread.
