Because without agreed on data we can't even get close to a reasonable understanding of the economics. That being said even when we do have a partial understanding based on the best info we will still have more to learn. What I am hoping for is as complete a costing of wastefulness in cars and driving as possible. then we will have a better understanding of the economic benefits of slowing down, ecomodding, and hypermiling.
the problem we have is that argument in that absence of evidence is of no value.
