Probably because it's cold outside. The weather is not the same as the climate and on average the world climate has increased or at least that is what they are telling us :wink:


Any wind turbines in Tootsville? Take note of how many, if any, are turning and producing electricity. White elephants, that will cost us all an absolute fortune.

The "world climate" average temperatures have been FALLING over recent years.

What started as "Global warming" and changed to "Climate change" is THE Royal Scam.

Read "The real global warming disaster" by Christopher Booker.


What did I say to deserve that sarcasm :?



I wasn't being sarcastic.

Have I offended you?

Go for it.

I'm sure the local trade will welcome you with open arms.

Or maybe not. :-$

I'm not offended , no. It just seemed sarcastic. Maybe I'm being hyper sensitive I am after all in the Scottish section :wink:

if the global supply of oil fails next year the prius will be worth less in scrap than my mondeo, its lighter, of course i may be able to use rapeseed oil whereas your prius wont.....haha! I win!

if you REALLY wanna be green you need a 100% electric car with only solar charging, or an alternator connected to a pushbike....

Toyota Prius. I was getting anywhere from 42-49 miles per gallon when my car hit 15,000 miles but since I have gotten to 40,000 miles have been lucky to get 28-38 mpg I have complained to my dealer not missed any of the maintenance first i thought it was my tires not staying inflated right and the dealer found a nail in my tire and I though ok that will fix it my mileage will get better now but it didn't. so next time I got the oil changed I said the mileage is still not getting the same as I was getting they put it to bad gas so I started filling up the same place my mom fills her prius up at (she gets at least 40-50 mpg) and there was no change.

so I said something to the dealer again and he said well lets try changing the air filter after they did that I got 40 mpg for the first time in months but it didn't last and now I am lucky to get 35 mpg so they recommended that I do a fuel injecter cleaning that cost $130 bucks, I don't think that is right that I should have to pay that my car is not getting the mileage that it is advertised as its supposed to get. I don't know what to do.
