People arguing about the price of gas, but as soon as someone mentions driving an EV they're "stupid" and woke

While yes they do move from one to another. Are you aware how stupidly inefficient car engines are and the amount of fuel used to transport the petrol/diesel to each and every gas station?

That saving of gas on each stage of removing those third party for cars.

I know gas powered engines have been for a long time, but do you think there's anything we can do to make it more efficient?

Not burning the gas up rapidly in monster trucks would be the best improvement we could do with gas vehicles. Massive square behemoths with 8-liter engines are not helping.

Lighter cars with smaller engines and turbochargers, designed for sleek aerodynamic wind flow are what we can do to make gas engine vehicles more efficient.
