An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    Because “better overall” is a silly concept to use here, and is bring deliberately done to “both sides” the debate.

    For driving really fast: petrol

    For not killing our planets ability to sustain himan life: electric

    Its not that hard

      The current pikes peak speed record is done with an electric car. Electric cars are quite good at speed as well.

        Eradicating personal vehicles is not feasible.

        Not owning a personal vehicle is only okay if you live in the heart of a city and don’t go outside of that little bubble. All other scenarios massively benefit from a personal vehicle; even going from one side of a city to another.

            Im sorry but how else do you drive 2 hours into the middle of the woods where there are no other people around so you can get away from godawful society for a while if not owning your own car? Im certainly not going to pay someone else to drive me out to a favorite low/no traffic spot just to show everyone where it is and then ruin it.

            Like most people in the western world (and indeed likely in most of the world) do.

            I’m going to have to see a source for this claim.

            I know the person has merit in their argument when they go on the personal attack. 👍
