But it doesn't do a lot of good to operate like that... We all know that fuel is bad and using to much fuel is shit. although we know this, we drive cars , big cars, that use 9-12 ltr. per 100 km. Wouldn't it make more sense to drive a car that only uses <3 ltr of fuel like Volkswagen has produced ? Chris is driving a big car that eats 30 ltr. of fuel ... :-)) I am driving a car that eats between 4.5 and 7 ltr. /100 km. What about yours ??? :-))) There are many critical issues. whereever you look in the world. how many do YOU follow and handle right although you know about HOW to do better? it does not seem to be important for chris. i do understand him. the whole day long people in big black cars overtake me on the german motorways. i am sure these cars eat more fuel than my car does. do you think the people in the cars care anyway ? no - they are like chris. seeing so many people behave this way, i do understand that this behaviour is part of the human mentality. and anybody is selecting the issues he is very "critical" by himself. you cannot convince them. you can only invent a law that says: cars that do eat more than 8 ltr/100 are forbidden or cost 1000 $ each month. and still people would drive them. :-)
