I also did some figuring a while back and found that at $3.50 per gallon the cost of buying and installing solar panels to charge an electric car would have an 8 year point to brake even at 15,000 miles per year, a while back I heard a story about a guy who's gas station offered up a deal so could pre-pay gasoline and this guy had paid for enough to last him 10 years or so, even though the price kept going up he was driving around on gasoline that he paid around $2 a gallon for, seems pretty smart right? pay for 8 years worth of fuel and you can use it for the rest of your life then leave it in your will for your grand children.
