    I’m never ever ever going to buy a electric car as long this shit keeps hitting fp. My diesel does 1.18 liters (like amazing on murica meter) and I can drive 900 kns with 1 full tank and a 3 minute reload. I don’t know what they gave you to even consider the step to being electric, but a heavy pass from me.

      You know this is about all cars right? Your diesel will also do this if new enough.

        That’s the neat part: my diesel car (I’m not the guy you replied to; I just also own one) is old.

        In fact, old diesels are actually better because the common-rail fuel pump and “clean diesel” bullshit on the newer ones makes them incompatible with >10% biodiesel. My car can actually be carbon-neutral (simply by putting B100 in it) because it’s old!

          Oh, if it is old enough you should run it on old cooking oil. Knew someone that had an old diesel rabbit who was all into alternative fuels and ran it on leftover oil from a fryer, smelled like french fries.
