neither of your are american. you both have very different back grounds from me. i live near detorit, in fact i visit it pretty much daily. detorit is motor city. so that's where i'm getting my ideas from. most people - around here - get their cars through a lease. that way they basically rent their car for the first 2 - 3 years of its life and give it back when they're done. the average car lasts 7 years and the average american consumer buys a car every 4 years.

NOW, if you actually read all of that, you're probably asking yourself the same question i am: why does that matter? my answer is that it doesn't. even if there's a wave of people who own new ethanol only cars, it's not going to put gas stations out of existence. And what is the reason for discussing it in the first place? IF am i right, which i believe i am, other types of fuel won't be any different. instead of gas stations you will have hydrogen stations. it makes no difference. the only other alternative is electric, but like i said, that doesn't solve anything because electric generators still use gas to run. you'll just see your electric bill rise, and people wont be able to heat themselves at night.
