I drive a volkswagen which currently gives me about thirty mpg. My wife, however, drives one of those damn suv's, which gets considerably less. We are currently looking for the motors, (at a reasonable cost), to convert both vehicles to all electric, (with on-board gas charging, 4-500 mpg sounds pretty good). The motor is the worst part of the cost of the conversion, which I will do myself, being a lifelong mechanic. We recently went all electric in our home, called the gas monopoly, oops, company, and told them to come get their meter and shove it where the sun don't shine, and are in the process of getting rid of our gas yard implements. Soon I will be building my own generating equipment, which should take us mostly, if not completely off the grid. Opec, kiss my big red **s! I'm trying to show you all what one can do with some gumption and determination. Yes, the cost of all of this is whittling the h**l out of my savings, but, what the heck, with the dollar losing ground the way it is, we just figure to spend it before the government does, and get something to show in the bargain.
