  7. http://www.tapatalk.com/ This is an app you can use but the forum needs to get it happening on their end first. might be an option? IPB support was supposed to be out last month.
  8. We digress, but since it's your topic those are all personal reasons, which I somewhat disagree with, from personal experience. Diesel isn't hard to get. I've only ever been to two stations in two years that haven't had it. And infact, one had it but it was a hi-flow pump for trucks, so I couldn't use it. I've done over 65,000km in those 2yrs so I've seen my fair share of stations. Also the price of diesel is much more stable. Apart from the crazy, insane prices we had in mid to late 2008, I've never paid more or less than $1.2X per litre. The initial cost is also something that comes down to a personal reason i.e. usage. If you do many km's as I do, you quickly recoupe the costs in the efficency, not to mention that the cost is usually reflected in the sale prices, when the car would be on-sold. The few thousand more that you bought it for, over a petrol equivalent, would also be a few thousand-ish more when you sell it.
  9. Theoretically, the torque would be instant....so comparatively, in that sense, it should move. Problem still is, storage of that power i.e. distance per charge (inefficient and large batteries) and the amount of power. Oh and again they are still burning fossil fuels back at the energy plant.
  10. I've been on the modern turbo diesel bandwagon for years now (owning one for 2yrs already) and I can say from an experienced (and maybe biased) point of view that the emmisions from the turbo diesels are getting better, along with the superb fuel economy and power. Thats not even taking into fact that the initial cost of purchase is rediculous for these electric and hybrid cars. Look at the most economical car on the market at the moment...the ford fiesta econetic...turbo diesel and at a cost of about 40% of the toyota prius (an industry benchmark) More to the point, as you say, they are still burning fossil fuels to generate the electricity and are still using unsustainable fuels. Untill that changes, they are no better, and if anything worse, with all of their inefficiencies during this infancy period of their use in the mass market. Unfortunately, most people would take the marketing as it is and join in on the hype, that is electric vehicles. Unlike the type that would come to these forums that would generally do some research prior to buying and also have some technical knowledge.
  11. Can't believe you stood me up Ash.
