I drive a pick up with a V8, I get about 18 on the freeway. Speed limit on i-5 is 70 for the most part, I keep it at about 75 and get that. I have a manual transmission with an over drive gear.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
