You also are not responsible for all the pollution that goes into making batteries not to mention disposing of the old batteries. Nasty stuff.
Why not burn e85? That just recycles the carbon back to the next plant used to make fuel.
How much coal does it take to recharge an electric car????
Just think, most of the income tax and other taxes from the Corsica went back into your economy, or alt least to a country that buys what you export.
Keep your money close to home. Not only does it help your friends but in a way it will help you and the environment too.
It's been widely known that e85 produces about 25% LESS MPG than regular unleaded gasoline. It costs too much to employ vs. some form of diesel. His Corsica is actually a good deal and can carry three Clydes and a Philco in the trunk, my guideline in a car anyhow.
