have you watched “who killed the electric car” watch the drag race between the EV-1/mazda mx-5/corvette, electric isnt slow.
The fastest drag bike in the world a few years ago was electric

I would hate to upset the people that invented the otto cycle by riding a bicycle so might by a chook chaser.
Now what do I do with 4 cars I have?

Nick
The only thing you have done about this subject is complain about a complaint you have about people in a friendly open forum?

XR2,
agree mate,
if you are going to do only 100k’s a week or what ever, it would take a lot longer to pay off an LPG conversion.

but the same goes for if you were to buy a new car too. if you are going to buy a new electric car to make savings, then it too would need to pay itself off.

it sounds like you need to dust the cob webs off the good ole bicycle you have sitting in the shed.
i mean peddling 2k’s to work is nothing.
i use to walk more than that to get to school.

all it would cost you is a 50c energy bar to get you to work. and you would probably be at work before you have time to finish it

If I put 80 LPG tank in my Jumbuck take out the petrol tank I could fill up for about $45 it would only cost me about $8 per week or about a pie and a dare ice coffee but it would take me about 10 years to get back the value.
If I had a EV-1 or the 2008 model of it I would charge up about once a week and cost about $3 to charge it
Would some manufacturer please make a Electric car soon please.

I don’t know why they don’t permanently mount a fake plate – who’s to know with so many cars?
As to oil consumption – everyone must know its a finite reserve that will run out. Its only a question of when.
The smart money is buying efficient cars.

What the Chinese authorites ought to do the subsise cars to get more on the road, which in turn will cause more congestion, which in turn will slow motorist down. Looking at the picture above its amazing to think you could speed in the first place.
