But the UK is so small you can drive right across it on one tank of petrol ;) Steve T

I owned an Excursion a few years ago ( I own an Explorer now ) and I will assure you that the mpg is far greater than 5 mpg. I get 18 in town and 23 on the highway and there is only a small difference in weight between the Explorer and the Excursion. And I too like them for their comfort and safety in city driving.

I find it somewhat interesting that NO MATTER the weight of the car and the type of engine, they all pretty much seem to get 'around' 18 - 25 MPG. I mean, I would think a Mini-Cooper could get like 50 MPG and the Eccursion would get like 12. So what gives?

Apart from the headline items, China's energy demand is increasing rapidly but they have virtually no oil reserves of their own so it's going to get worse not better :sigh: The tigress is here :-D
They were building MANY hydroeletric plants. Their poptential cpacity for generating electricity this way is enormous. I can see China really pushing the demand for electric car technology forwards. Some interesting facts might be what is the profit margin on a barrel of oil? Is it like 95% or something?
