@flareak qoute "Diesel inherently has more energy inside the fuel. It’s no wonder they get high mpg. Does it mean its more efficient? Not necessarily, when you consider how much energy is inside diesel fuel. Plus, diesel is expensive nowadays.. more expensive than premium gasoline."
true about more energy in diesel. However, in a lot of places diesel is cheaper than premium gasoline. (Think Europe.)
For me the prius is more hype than annything else. The bateries weigh 100 lbs? seems a bit on the light side if you ask me. A normal car battery already does 30 lbs or so. But than again i dont have anny numbers. (and ofcourse the electro drive also uses weight. Talking about batteries: what is the enveroimental impact of those things? they do not grow on trees, also recycling is an isue. How long does a battery pack last? i would not be suprised if the batteries cost more energy to make than they save on the road. just picture a 15 year old prius, i do not see that happen often. I all for greener transportation, but imho the prius is not the way to go. think smaller, maybe afordable dealer renting of bigger cars if you need to move more.
wel; a VW Polo i drove made 63 miles on a gallon. NOT a fancy hybride, just plain old diesel. (27 Km/liter). Small car tho. (believe it was a 1998 model.)
@ Another Jake : get a DE (double edge) savety razor, order a blade sampler pack online and shave with the ones you like. Cheap, and with some practice a better shave!
there are a lot of blades to choose from, that all fit the same razor.

in the Netherlands the age ristriction is 16 for beer/wine and 18 for annything distilled. To be able to buy legal weed you have to be 18 also. Driverslicence can be obtained at 18. That being said: ive never been into a bar fight, nor am i an alcoholic. 21 seems way to high in my eyes.
