I think you should think yourselves very lucky, we almost pay the same for a litre of gas in the UK as they do for a gallon, tell me who is being selfish here, while the rest of the world picks up the carbon taxes, wake up.

Can a natural gas fueled, ultra-high compression, super efficient, two-stroke, fuel injected, turbocharger scavenged, ultra light engine along the lines of the three cylinder Detroit diesel be developed for automotive purposes by GM in time to save our butts? Electric cars just seem so far away from what we have! Pinkins says go natural gas since we have lots of it.

Now I don't know about any of you but on day I hope to be solving this problem rather than complaining about. In my book if you are not doing anything about it you are a waste of space and should remove your self from the giene pool. All you are you are doing is wasting energy. yes you should listen MIT because they are some of the worlds brightest people.
