    Well, if you drive a hybrid, have you ever thought of where your electricity comes from? Probably a very inefficient coal or natural gas plant! Also, its not the gas gauge, its the engine heat gauge lol.

    Point is, don’t fret over your fossil fuel usage. Big corporations use more fossil fuels a day than you will ever use in your lifetime, even if you drive a fuel guzzling truck.

      No, I know where it comes from. The car’s internal combustion engine. Because that’s how hybrids work.

        Yeah I guess. But there are some hybrids that charge via EV plug. My point still stands either way.

      My evs power comes from hydro and wind power, for which I pay a small extra fee for.

      My state just closed its last coal power plant last year!
