Yeah, I sorta concluded that my black & green civic is my last ICE, if I can time the replacement to my liking. Right now a first gen Volt, Focus, or Leaf would be my lead candidates, since they all seem to have sold well and ar beginning to appear on the jsed market with large chuncks of their depreciation reflected in the pricing.

The grid here ks more than clean enough: a 2012 EV gives out less than half the CO2 of the best new 2016 Eco trim Prius at a third the sticker price (and its cheaper to fuel).

EDIT: sorry I just noticed how off topic we're getting.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
