100 mpg: A sign for our times.

Posted by NRG SVR in Admin

It seems that every other edition of the newspaper or tv news broadcast is featuring a story with pictures of gas station signs showing ‘100+’ cents per litre. A recent editorial comic we saw depicted the price of gas as ‘89.9 per ml’.

There also seems to be no shortage of folks complaining about the so-called high price of fuel. (Has no one ever wondered why we’re being conditioned to pay even more for bottled water at these same stations?)

Nevermind the price of fuel. There’s an easier way to cut your costs, and reduce your GHG emissions at the same time. Drive something more efficient.

'The key to more, is less.' Or is it 'the key to less is more'? Hmm. Either way, 100 mpg is achievable.

Thanks to imagiNet for assisting with the sign for our times.
