Re: Efficient cars

Despite the drift, I like here on this list.  How many lists do I want read?
AND, being a physicist I value what physicists say about many topics not
just physics, because they bring a physicist' way of looking at things to a
problem and that is instructive.

I do understand the concern about topic creep, but as is always mentioned,
as long as the subject headings remain relevant (which is why I changed it
to "efficient cars", the delete key works in a fraction of a second.
