    I can't even find a church I am happy at anymore. My old church in Sarasota is raising SEVENTEEN MILLION for their new building. It's rediculous when you go to a Sunday service and don't hear a message, you hear a commercial about tithing so they can build new buildings... anyways, we've gone way off topic.

          still working on the % of E85 (not full on yet). i should replace the hoses to eliminate rubber... but it was a cheap experiment, especially since m10s are like $500

          I'll either go with a 2002 and turbo it (easier to use E85) and run a long diff... or get a 318is and accomodate it.

            It would also take a passenger car about 400 years to transport the same amount of cargo. Just because the total amount of fuel used is very high doesn't mean it's not still very efficient at the job it does...

              You know e85 is a pretty shitty fuel . It takes more energy to produce than it makes, relies on diesel to transport it everywhere. Gets 2/3 the gas milage and makes 30% less power, and is only cheap because of govt subsidies.

                What he said.

                E85s only practical use is to reduce dependence on foreign oil. It's for political gain, not environmental gain...

                    may his noodly appendage bless you
                    The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, after having existed in secrecy for hundreds of years, came into the mainstream just a few years ago. With millions, if not thousands, of devout worshipers, the Church of the FSM is widely considered a legitimate religion, even by its opponents – mostly fundamentalist Christians, who have accepted that our God has larger balls than theirs.

                        think about all the hydrocarbons and co2 emissions from his jet trips around the country promoting his movie. if he really cared he would have done it by bicycle, horse and buggy, or public transit... which in turn would have brought much more attention to his cause. look at Al Gore riding his bicycle!! etc.

                          Space travel is the biggest waste of money ever.

                                Not enough obviously. Great read, with verifyable data in footnotes throughout the book. I'll believe that over anything any Gore says...
