JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: never knew that.

JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: Imperial (UK) gallon is legally defined as 4.54609 litres (~277.42 cu in), which is about 1.2 U.S. liquid gallons

You: i think the US though is still some of the lowes efficiencies

JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: thank you Wikipedia

Celt Halfpint: I know that my 2005 honda civic gets about 35 mpg, but my old 1985 honda got 42 on an average.

Celt Halfpint: I would wonder why that is

You: wow! that is frustrating, so we are going backwards even more with our tech

Celt Halfpint: kind of makes you think

Celt Halfpint: A 2005 gets 35 when a 85 gets 42 -45

Celt Halfpint: yep

You: probably something about the speed/strength, whatever about the engine

Celt Halfpint: big busnes does not have an insentive except for money

You: I am finding more data though around the"value" to a bottom line of their reputation

You: ah yes Greenmba!

Celt Halfpint: Chevy has a new car that they are coming out with next year that will go 40 miles on one charg, but when the gas motor kicks in it still only gets 50 mpg

Celt Halfpint: it would be nice to save the world , but it is going to have to be one step at a time

You: hmm, and maybe mini ones at taht! oy!

Celt Halfpint: lol

Celt Halfpint: that is fucnny

Celt Halfpint: farm ade

You: it's so frusrtating! right, why should we reinvent the wheel

Celt Halfpint: but if it is not right we should work on it

You: absolutely, with collaboration we could figure it all out

Celt Halfpint: yes

Celt Halfpint: but that would take and open mind

You: Yeah, Americans don't really have an issue with non american electronics and cars

You: LOL

Celt Halfpint: but the thing that is funny is that most of the stuff is made over seas

Celt Halfpint: its not?

Celt Halfpint: lol

Celt Halfpint: oh oh where did you go

You: can you hear me talking?

Celt Halfpint: ya I think that it is my conection that is all
