Fuel. What do you want?

Electric would work for me, but it would have to gaurentee me at least 200 miles a day, I don't do it everyday but on some days and I never know when. I often wondered about an elec. car and a small portable generator, how much distance would it add? My generator will runn about four hrs. on two gallons of gas. How bout it Dega, any calcs for that?
I have experimented on my Tercell with octane boosters and oil aditives and haven't significantly changed the milage. The only one I felt I could feel any significant difference was Lucas Oil fuel aditive, felt like I had better pazazz going uphill but no huge difference in the milage. Duane
Let me add to the post I to agree if we started drilling feverishly, the world market would drop significantly. Duane

Those cars are already here, just not the range. I was mistaken earlier about the range of these cars,. However the charge time is great for commuting back and forth to work. The are pricey though. I quoted this one at $59,000
