Good point David. Nearly forgot. I actually was one of the guys who (with others) built an algae farm in NM and they produced crude oil from it. Problem; oil price went down as we finished and they sold the lock box.

What pisses me off is these screaming liberals always want to write either a sarcastic line condescending us or they outright state we don’t know shit.
Brainwashed. Guess that we all are to some degree or to some belief system.

It just looks like they're getting dumber and less informed than ever.

Damn shame.

It was the poison shots! It is a shame. Because we are all either going to retire soon or are retired and won’t give a rip soon. These brainwashed trophy recipients are not going to have the prosperity or fun we have. This shit is a good example. Take some government money, believe it is a good deal, but oh shit, when they are all complying and captured, socialism will be the new USA, along with most of their freedom.

Recent example- Look at the ones who got shots and believed the mask bullshit! Now full of poison that damaged their bodies and full iron clad proof that masks did not work compared with the no mask areas. Matter of fact proof and numbers support more Covid has been received by the people who took the poison VS people who relied on their own immunity to fight it. Some of us knew when there was no legal recourse just in case the manufacturers did not do appropriate diligence, we instantly became suspicious. Because we have a brain!

I remember the see through foam mask you wore on the airplanes when you had to travel. They had no clue you weren't wearing a mask that meet their standards. I laughed my ass off knowing how gullible people were back then.

We see this all over with people. Society as a whole is heading in a downward spiral.

Worked for the duration and I traveled extensively. Never got it after my first and only 48 hours of it in January 2021. Got it either at work or at the doctors office a few days before.

Guilty as charged. Apparently I don't even know what mileages our 'Cats are getting.

Hell Jimmy you don’t care #1. #2 you never do traffic. I bet you get mid-20 mpg. My old one with the lower axle ratio did. The RE has the higher axle and it takes a couple MPG away. It gets like 22-23. But that is entirely suburban driving much like you probably do. Never stop and go stuff.

Not quite. Traffic is one reason my mileage isn't better.

There are times when catch up to and "have to" pass upwards of 10 cars in just 70 miles. Then those resulting 60/70/80 to 120+ spurts (floored) are just so good for the soul. But they do use up some gas.

And it probably doesn't help that I tend to go a wee bit over the speed limit where the roads are straight enough to allow it. Then throw in some meaningful elevation changes and that's why my best tank so far was 24.13, and the worst 18.19 mpg.

Realistically, I should slow down a bit (okay, a lot) having already used up some 999 of my nine lives. But not to save on gas. I would enjoy driving my Challenger just as much even if it only got 5 mpg.

Wait, that's not true. That would mean I'd have to stop for gas as often as an EV has to stop. And I hate stopping.

Funny to hear the rants about propaganda when you're spewing it. It's OK that you want to go through life misguided and confused. I'll stop engaging with you on this thread so you can go back to homophobic EV bashing.
Thank you…

Dude, good numbers. It can get to about 4-6 mpg doing a lot of high speed stuff.:cool: Then 4-5 full-ups per day starts to be fun.:LOL:

Because he or she is obviously not straight, therefore the simple mind believes that.:giggle:

BATTERIES USED TO POWER AN EV…

China is the world’s third-largest producer of lithium, contributing 13% of global production in 2021, behind Australia’s lion share of 52% and Chile’s 25%.

The U.S. accounted for 1% of lithium production worldwide that same year.
