What is Synthetic oil made of? I thought it was NOT real oil. Maybe I am wrong. If we want a green lifestyle (And I Do) We should pressure our governments to spend money on Fuel Cell research and plan the ultimate (retirement of fossil fuel engines and power generating all together.) As long as idioys in my country run around in 500 hp SUVs and pick-up trucks it is not going to get any better, only worse.
I live in the United States. My elected and (appointed) one's too,leaders believe it is better to wage war in oil producing nations than it is to spend 10 dollars on any change in energy policy. At upwards toward a trillion dollars on an unwinnable civil war for cheap oil, that money could have been spent on development of new better and more earth frienly energy source and opening up the USA to being the world's inventor of technology instead of the world's biggest users,wasters, and polluters.
My Hyundai dealer is perhaps the highest priced in the area for maintainance.
Like I said in my earler post, I can't work on them any longer. I wish that I could. Arthur has gotten the best of me. (Arthur-itis that is.) When I was a young kid, we used to use re-refined oil in our old cars. What happened to that?
I don't know but to me that was a good idea, along with glass, milk , beer, and soft drink bottles too. Ethanol is a good idea but not corn ethanol. All that is going to do is drive up food prices. The South Americans are making their ethanol from sugar cane and getting twice the bang for the buck. All corn ethanol does is make oil barons corn barons. Either way the public is the victim.
With two former oil men running our government (I use that word loosley) and a bunch of politicos that are controlled by big oil and corn farming conglomerates, you and I don't stand a chance my friend.
Thanks for the comments. I did not want you to think though that I was just a polluter and waster.
