MPG vs total fuel consumption, carbon emmissions.

February 27, 2016 — leslie dean brown

In today’s conversation, I went straight for the jugular.

I’ll admit I stopped before posting the last reply. So I’m posting that here instead.

Mark Frank: S2000’s are great, a lot more fun then that Prius you have parked in the back.

leslie dean brown: Yeah. I agree with that. Although you know what is not ‘fun’? Living on the greenhouse planet herself, Venus. Never mind. *sometimes* I drive an RX8. Just… not much. Because it uses WAY too much fuel. :(

Tom Hanover: What does Venus have to do with anything? I guess you’re worried about fuel consumption, but then again maybe you aren’t since you drive an RX-8 that gets 16/23 MPG while the S2000 gets 18/25.

leslie dean brown: MPG not the only thing to consider. The main thing to consider… is how much you spend on fuel every week. Or every year. Or in total. A prius driver that drives 1 million km is not anywhere near as ‘eco’ as a ferrari driver that only drives 10k km. ;-) “What does Venus have to do with anything?” Well, just that… we don’t want our planet turning into that one. It is the mother of all global warming planets. And yes, we are at that time, where this should be discussed. By everyone. And unfortunately, it’s not being discussed. Hardly ever.

Tom Hanover: Earth can’t turn into Venus. Global Warming is over hyped just like the Prius.

leslie dean brown: Tom Hanover Yes. And your qualifications are? A degree in business. That’s like me saying “your business plan isn’t worth the paper it’s written on” or “you can’t subtract two numbers from one another, that’s impossible”.

There. Now what people are saying will be recorded throughout history.
