Would you give up all of your cars and 10 grand for a car that never needed fuel added? Ever?

Besides the fact that is is a totally random pointless topic :P, yes I would give up my gas-hogging 1970 truck for something that never took gas. Imagine, going anywhere you want all the time and never looking at the meter...

Depends on the performance and reliability.

$10k: yes.

£10k: Probably not.

Unrealistic question. Give up my commuter, $10k for a car I don't have to gas-up? Yes. Give up the utility vehicle I use to haul stuff around in on occasion? Not likely, unless this uber vehicle is extremely robust.

Well since this is in the Science section, do you happen to have any scientific research on the matter i.e. a article about this or a fuel-less car? Otherwise i should think Local Pub is better suited.

Hard for me to decide, my truck has a lot of sentimental value... father and I built the engine in it from scratch, 1974 GMC C2500 (Super Custom) 5.7L V8, 2 BBL Carb - I'm upgrading to 4 BBL soon, and putting on a damn nice intake, should get me a few more horses and help with gas milage a little... that'd be nice, but no, I don't think I would give it up for $10k, I may sound crazy, but I'm attached

Comments on this post

Singh_Shady agrees: never let go of it
