I'm sorry if this sounds extreme or off the wall to some, but it is the truth.

Did you know, for example, that under the BEST maintenance conditions, the average gasoline powered vehicle uses, at most, about 33% of the gasoline that you put into the gas tank to actually move the vehicle forward, and that the other 66% or so is burned in the catalytic converter, and comes out of the tailpipe?

It is actually pathetic when you consider the fact that in the year 2020 we are still talking about carbon build-up in an engine. For that we may as well be driving with a bag of coal in the trunk!
Welcome!

People in the automotive industry are people, like you and me. They are as much criminal as you and me.

The automobile has been among the most life enhancing inventions of all time. Big Oil is the single greatest thing to happen to humanity in the history of history. Every metric of human wellbeing has been improved as a consequence of fossil fuel innovation. The fact that you type this electronic message for all the world to behold is testament to the power of fossil fuels.

California will experience an exodus as those that do, leave, and those that do not, squander the goodwill of the few that remain.
