Harder to reason with masses of consumerist brainwashed fold yet the interesting part of the mix is the hybrid. Personally I never liked them and prefer a straight EV though many rave about the Camry Hybrid I would prefer the locally converted datsun or a 23kw battery Leaf.

Back to the EV part, for the ones who trust the Government research cause they are so trusting - the whole petrol aspect of a car does not consider the subsidies for all the requirements to get the petrol to the pump. That in itself is a major issue when doing the per mile calculation a big failure of these discussions.

Just to show how trusting and efficient our Gov is here it fined a big polluter "Santos" with 1500 little ones for indefinitely polluting an acquifer near a CSG project in the Pilliga Forest, its only 20 over the limit for Uranium 238 yummie! yellowcake
