Is there a non-Facebook link for those of us without social media?
Alright everyone, I think we might be going back to gas vehicles. After 3 years with the below pictured electric vehicle and having saved at least $11k in gas or more, no repairs at all except for tire rotation, no oil changes, free or low cost charging , overnight charging at my house…I think the choice is clear to go back.

But I need some help before I consider making the switch to gas so my gas guzzling friends please help answer these questions!!
________________________________
1. I have heard that gas cars can’t refuel at home while you sleep? How often do you have to refill elsewhere? Will there be a solution for refuelling at home? What happens if the gas station loses power, how do I pump gas then?

2. Which parts will I need to service and how often? The car salesman mentioned oil in the engine and timing belts that need replacing and a box with gears in it. What is this? How much will this service oil change cost and how often – and what happens to the old oil. Also apparently these petrol type cars generally stop on the brakes alone – so the brakes wear out much faster – how long will they last compared to my current electric car which is estimated to last over 100k miles?

3. Do I get fuel back when I slow down or drive downhill? How about during stop and start traffic?

4. The car I test drove seemed to have a delay from the time I pressed the accelerator pedal until it began to accelerate. Is that normal in gas cars?

5. We currently pay about 1.2p per mile to drive our electric car. I have heard that gas can cost up to 8 times as much. Is this true?

6. Is it true that gas is flammable? Isn’t that dangerous?

7. I understand that the main ingredient in gas is oil. Is it true that the extraction and refining of oil causes environmental problems as well as conflicts and major wars that over the last 100 years have cost millions of lives? Is there a solution? I don’t know if I can support something like this.

8. I have also been told that you have to transport oil all over the world to turn into petrol or diesel, and these ships have in the past damaged the environment by leaking the oil.

9. I have heard that cars with internal combustion engines are being banned to enter more and more cities around the world, as it is claimed that they tend to harm the environment and health of their citizens? Is that true?

10. I have been told that these internal combustion engines make a noise when you start them – so early starts can wake people up, and driving a lot of internal combustion engine cars in towns makes towns noisy.

11. is it true people can steal the fuel from your tank? I worry about that because nobody’s ever been able to steal my electricity off my car.

12. what is the drop in range in cold weather, I've been told a car that does 45mpg can drop to 37 mpg in winter – just curious on that one.

13. a friend told me that the exhausts wear out – is that true, and people steal them for the rare material used in them?

14. I was also told – that the exhaust gas isn’t good for you – and if you leave the car running in a confined space – like a garage – you will die – surely that isn’t true is it??

15. next door told me – these gas cars – carry around 40 to 60 litres of highly flammable liquid which is pumped into a steel cylinder, and its then exploded to generate expanding gas to move a piston, and turn linear motion into rotary motion.
Why would anyone want thousands of explosions happening within a few feet of where your sitting.

16. a guy at work told me – he has a gas car, and it leaks oil. When he parks it – surely that’s not right is it – leaving dirty marks on the floor and contaminating the environment so directly. How long before this happens if I change to a gas car?

17. my dad told me – if you buy a diesel car – the hand pump smells very bad, and you have to wear special gloves to stop your hand smelling, and if you spill it on your clothes it’s terrible.

18. is it true – the petrol and diesel is so dangerous, that you can only buy the fuel at a special filling station, and not anywhere like electric charging stations (hotels/Car parks/Home/Work)
