The energy differential in miles per gallon would have to be huge before it makes any “green sense”.



mini,

Keep in mind energy usage isn’t the same as gas usage. Cars use gasoline to run but factories don’t necessarily use gasoline to build cars. The real point isn’t to save energy, but to reduce green house gas emissions. So if you want to prove that it doesn’t make “green” sense, you’d want to start by looking at how much green house gas emissions are generated throughout the lifetime of the cars.
