The Smart car is fighting against the mathematics of division. A gallon of gasoline has about 125,000 BTUs of energy. The “budget” of energy becomes close to impossible to shave down<\/p>\n
\r\n10 mpg = 12,500 BTUs\/mile\r\n12.5 = 10,000 \r\n25 = 5,000\r\n30 = 4,166\r\n35 = 3,751\r\n40 = 3,125\r\n45 = 2,777\r\n50 = 2,500\r\n60 = 2,083\r\n<\/pre>\n Did you say you wanted air conditioning? Headlights? Windshield wipers? <\/p>\n
In the midst of the other nonsense, Congress passed a law outlawing physics. In 2025, the CAFE will require 54.5 mpg. The behavior of division works on cost per mile also. At $2 a gallon for gasoline, driving 10,000 miles @ 50 mpg costs $400 a year for gasoline. At 25 mpg, it would cost $800. The difference is about one car payment, and a 1000% nicer and safer car.<\/p>\n
Motorcycles typically get around 50 mpg. If you use the oil to grow food to feed a human to ride a bicycle, you can get to about 70 mpg.<\/p>\n
Any Republicans advocating repeal or rollback of CAFE standards? The Overton window has already absorbed that opinion. Is it window smashing time?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
