The lesson here is clear. Only kill and kidnap (or hang) people from other oil producing countries when you can get away with it.
Nobody cares about a few hundred thousand dead civilians every few decades as long as gas is cheap. But the moment gas gets more expensive, maybe war is not such a good idea after all.
And here are some other tricks to save on gas. Try not driving a vehicle the size of a tank. Or even consider crazy ideas like using electricity to power your vehicle, even if it emasculates some alpha males. In fact, it's also possible sometimes to walk or even use a bicycle!
Using electricity? Like double the efficiency? Never! I want my sound! 🤪
If you still want to annoy everyone around with noise, just get an electric car from Hyundai. Their pedestrian warning system is so loud that I can hear them better than gas burning cars when I have the windows open.
Really? Wow.
Someone noted ev would've been a good chance to regulate / minimize the strain on the public. But oh well...
(just to be clear the noise part was sarcastic in the previous post)
Unfortunately, yes. I live in a tower on a busy four lane artery. There is a traffic light just in front of the building and when the windows are open I can hear some electric cars, like Hyundai, when they are going at low speed. Here is what they sound like. I can hear others and I'm slowly beginning to recognize what brand they are just by the noise, but an electric Hyundai is loud and obvious to me.
