Who killed the electric car?

I really don't think the oil companies could get any dumber. Whichever one of them develops some new type of fuel that becomes the standard first stands to make a hell of a lot of money, and it's not like they have to make that much in the way of adjustments at the gas stations... I mean, obviously the fuel is still going to have to be in liquid form and gee where do you suppose they have pumps for pumping liquid fuel into cars?

Although elecrtic cars still wouldn't work that great overall. They're really nice for stop and go traffic but freeway driving is hell on the battery as the car has to keep up high speeds for long distances. That's why hybrids get lower gas mileage on freeways, because combustion engines are much more efficient for that kind of driving and thus the car lets the engine do most of the work as opposed to city driving where the battery gets it's giggles.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
