ok first you have to install green LED parking lights....
then take off your exhaust so you run straight headers....
then red line the F@*% out of it....
then go to sleep happy you did your part to global warming....

...One of the reasons I bought the rx8 was for gas mileage... but I am used to 8-12 mpg. getting anywhere from 15-22 in my 8 is awesome to me.

Kid first of all Bio diesel smells like ****. People that use it pollute my breathing air, making it seem like my head is right over a deep fryer.

Bio diesel is a horrible alternative fuel source. It actually pollutes the environment and air more than gasoline (I just made that up I have no scientific data to support my claim).

if you want to go green you have to pick you can either have more emissions and high mpg or less mpg and less emissions.

Alternatively you can do some research and see that planet earth is on its natural course for global warming and cooling. The c02 buildup directly correlates with methane rise. Methane is 25% more potent greenhouse gas than c02 is in our lower atmosphere.

methane is naturally occurring and bubble's up out of the sea floor as the planet is heating up.

"shady doesn't that mean that the c02 is warming up our planet thus causing methane to rise?"

No you idiot all the planets are warming up at the same time with the same temp increases, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle1720024.ece.

So wait a minute mars doesn't have any people and factories and cars!!!! omg how is this happening..

well the obvious reason is they have an invisible shield over their whole planet!

OK so stop feeding into this whole green theory provided to you by mass media and scare tactics pushed by large corporations and do your own dam research.

I like Hydrogen Renesis RE myself. Too bad there is not a conversion kit yet. There are pump stations in some states now. Not enough yet.
