Answer 3

You may have seen the Tesla electric sportscar http://www.teslamotors.com

You may have even seen the T-Zero electric sports car http://www.acpropulsion.com/ACP_FAQs.htm

These two cars show that it is now possible to build electric cars that can out-accelerate a Ferrari, and go 250 - 350 miles on a single charge. But both these cars are very expensive.

So who else is working on electric cars?

Would you believe China? They have to work on EVs. There won't be enough oil to support China's future economic growth.

I drive an old electric vehicle. I also have friends with electric vehicles. Some of them have recently been able to buy some amazing, cutting-edge EV batteries from China - example:

These batteries are better, and cheaper than the ones in those $100,000+ sportscars above. If you look at the chart, you'll see they are as cheap as lead-acid batteries, and they hold up for 1100 charges, twice as many charges as the other LI-Ion batteries on the chart.

Now, look at this car:

It's a Chinese electric car, which will be imported into the USA next year. The driving range is almost as good as those sports cars above. But it only costs $28500.

Answer 4

Mmm, my favorite question, 10MPG. I don't know how the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon drivers are really getting 15-19... And that is average IN city. So let me know what your trick is or maybe you just don't know how to do math... Here, let me help those that are logically challenged. (Stupid)
***This only works starting from a full tank to filling it to a full tank. (so if you think that you don't have to have a full tank either way, then America is in big trouble. Stay in school, you need it)

Start off with a full tank. (Know how many Gallons your car can hold, use your manual, it will tell you your tank size.) Reason to know your tank size is so you can gauge how close you are to a full tank.

Set your trip to 0.00
Then run your tank to 1/4 to empty, whatever you like.
Fill your tank all the way again.
Take your trip miles, lets say 175.9
Divide that by the gallons you just filled 17.256

175.9/17.256=10.19MPG
This is your formula, it's not fully accurate since the pumps do not always fill it all the way, but try. It's the closest you will get.

I made a simple question trivial... ;)

Answer 5

I have a 1994 Acura Integra RS, 5 speed manual transmission. I can get a bit past 300 miles before the gas light goes on, so maybe 320 on a full tank. The tank is like 12 gallons, so I get about 26mpg mixed... That's with a lead foot.

Answer 6

95 Ford Contour, ~31 mpg Highway, ~19/20 City.
It varies depending on how long it has been since we changed the oil. The closer it is to needing a change, the more often we need to fill the gas tank. Highway will drop 5-7 mpg if we run over 3 months on a change.
