Does it matter how many mpg our vehicles get?

Question

We're going to burn up all the oil as gasoline and diesel anyway, aren't we? What difference does it make if we burn it all up at 5mpg or 500mpg? The end result it still the same.

Answer 1

what's the difference between eating rotten food and good food when the end result is the same: p**p?

Answer 2

As long as we are in Iraq, should we care.

Answer 3

Ask a stupid question you get a lot of stupid answers.

Answer 4

Thats exactly correct.  And no matter how good your mileage is, the Greenies will still say "its a start but we all need to do even more".  Until finally you don't even own a car.

Answer 5

The more that is burned at any one time, the greater the air pollution. Plus, many people have lost their good jobs to China, and can't afford $3 a gallon gasoline. Your statement is like saying, we're all gonna die, so why wait? Die now! That's stupid.

Answer 6

it matters a lot, do you like making the gas companies millions for their retirements? i don't. s***w them and their overcharging ways.

Answer 7

the whole point is...the less gas we use...the less likely it will run out.  Even if we do use it all..it will last a LOT longer if we don't have to use as much.  Also, it will save you money by having a gas efficient car. Also, less demand for gas...means less war on countries possessing oil.

Answer 8

It doesn't matter at all.................

Answer 9

of course it matters; we want as much time as possible before the fossil fuels run out to develop a practical alternative fuel source don't we? That's why we need efficient vehicles as of now.

Answer 10

Wouldn't you rather go farther before you run out?

Answer 11

At 500 MPG maybe your kids will have to walk to work and everywhere else. At 5mpg, you'll be walking to work and everywhere else.

Answer 12

For me, it matters a lot. It's a matter of conservation, of making what we have last as long as possible, and of spending less money at the pump.

Answer 13

you will save more money at the pump
