Chocolate lovers do not get all worried that your vice will be going through the roof cost wise.

It would be more accurate to say that it is powered by the waste from making chocolate that has been turned into a bio-fuel. Much like taking used greese and and making bio-diesel.

This race car is built to Formula 3 specs and the claim is (they claim it because they have yet to drive it at speed) is it should be good for 145+ mph out on the race track. Also some of the cars components, like the body, seat and steering wheel, are built from several types of plant based fibers.

This is the Aptera Motors 2e an all-electric three-wheeled two-seater that gets the equivalent of 200 mpg and goes 100 miles on a charge.

It is supposed to be in the “affordable” range of $25k - $45k.  Available in California only at first and if all goes well the rest of the nation. It is reported that there is room for 2 golf bags or about 15 bags of groceries. I wonder if its paper or plastic bags that they tested.

I am also wondering if the Jetsons styling will catch on to more then the Ed Begley Jr. types. I wouldnt mind it as a commuter car, but the “affordable” price is way out of my range, especially for just a commuter. Now mind you I am also not the type of person that believes that I have to go into debt for a car.

Yes, this is tough confession to make, but I in fact like most of you. I have found myself simply following the crowd just like the sheep that I am.

So what is it that I am doing? What horrible, awful, and atrocious act am I doing along with the rest of America?

I have (temporarily) abandoned my attempt at saving fuel. I’ll say it again, I have (temporarily) abandoned my attempt at saving fuel.

This of coarse is because gas has hit a two year low of under $2 a gallon and the “crisis” seems to have past. But in reality I’m thinking that we are still smack in the middle of said crisis. Sure gas is again “cheap”. Not the $.57 per gallon it was when I started driving, but cheap for the current times.

Unfortunately unemployment is at a seven year high and a lot of people can barely feed their family, never mind a gallon of gas. But thise of us who are still blessed with a decent paying job, we have again started to waste fuel like there is no end to the supply. The for sale signs on the big gas guzzlers have gone and far too many people think that our new president will solve all of their problems like he will personally be paying their bills.

Sorry to burst a few bubbles, but there is no way any one person can or will solve the mess we have put ourselves in. He may or may not help with some things, only time will tell, but we can not afford to simply sit back and let things happen (to) for us. It will only be a matter of time until the price of gas jumps to an even higher high then it was during the worst of this past year. and it will again be our own short sighted fault. We need to conserve what we have and work towards a different source of energy to power our cars. Too many companies are waiting for “someone” to start the ball rolling.

I admit that I am as guilty as the next guy and will be spending my commuting time a bit more conservatively and again try to reach my goal of 45 mpg.

I hope you will all join me in this lofty but much needed goal of conserving what fuel we have left.
