Every year I have to buy mulch. Every year I have to buy more mulch too. Never have enough mulch.

@zachshawlawsonzsl if it can't get you there all the efficiency in the world doesn't matter.

@richardcorns8553 new engine? Irv Gordon put 3.2 million miles on his original engine before he died. Which BTW is a world's record. I met Irv once. I have the same kind of car as he did too.

There's not enough CO2 in the air. CO2 is only 400 parts per million (0.04%). So a trace gas. Most of our atmosphere (78%) is nitrogen which is inert.

Would never work. Who's going to swap their good pack for an unknown? I buy a new EV for $45K there's no way I'm going to swap my battery pack with Jim Bob's wasted pack!

You cannot make up for the storage shortcoming gap. 10X is huge! At best you can only get a third of the way back. Which still leaves EVs 2/3rds behind.

3X more efficient does not make up for 1/10th the energy storage density.

So it is a good thing gasoline has 10 times the power as a battery does.

@AlainHubert personally I like the flames my hot rod shoots out the tail pipe. I have a high lift long duration cam in it so it is like a jet engine. When I ordered that cam from Crane the rep said, You're not going to run this on the street, are you? I built that car myself with my own blood, sweat and tears.
