Petition to bring the Electric Car back to the Retail Market.

How about the Air Car? May I Quote one of the PM Letters in my Popular
Mechanics magazine for August 2007?
I Quote:
HOT AIR.The Article about the compressed-air car (''Driving on Thin
Air,'' June '07) was so amazing and revoluntionary that I can't believe
that you didn't feature it on your cover.A car with a range of 125
miles, up to 68 miles per hour, using nothing but air as it's on-board
fuel source? If true, the implicatins for gasoline and pollution
reduction, not to mention the national security and economic
ramifications, are earth-shattering.Don Koplen Boulder,Colorado.

That's very true, and would be even more so if you had a plug-in station
at BOTH ENDS of your commute. That way, the car's battery pack could be
even smaller and lighter and less energy would be wasted in hauling
around battery instead of payload.

I don't like paying those prices either, but I blame American drivers
more than the automakers. As the price of gas has been going up, so
has the consumption!

No one is even TRYING to use less gas. No one is slowing down, no one
is avoiding heavy braking, or doing any coasting. When I drive a few
mph slower, or coast when a light way ahead turns red, all I get is
tailgating and nasty looks!

One doesn't need to stop driving (a sour grapes statement). You don't
even need to drive fewer miles. Just use less gas when you do drive
by driving in economy mode.

When you coast, yours is the only car on the road that coasts at that
speed. That means every single person behind you has to work at riding
their brakes for as long as you are having fun coasting.

If you're driving a few MPH slower than traffic, and you're in the right
lane, then those who are hassling you are bozos. If you're going slower
in any but the right lane, you're basically going out of your way to
be rude and obnoxious, and in some states you're breaking the law as
well.

Kudos to you for trying to conserve. But remember that the traffic lights
alone in many places will waste more gasoline than just about anything else.
