I am not defending the high gas prices but I am always critical when people rush to the pumps like there is no tomorrow if the prices are going up by a few cents.

No wonder.. you are moving with your wife's car keys
Yeh, there is a tug of war in the house in the morning !! one gets the key other gets car !! The Govt just do not understand the issues their policies can bring into people's home
You guys should definitely try these electric cars (in fact I too got to try!). Go gas free for life. My colleague drives it every single day and boy do I envy that! Imagine the kind of gas money you can save every month, at least $90 through $150. That is your one week's groceries. Let's show em those damned oil companies who the real boss is.(more than them these OPEC a$$!@#$. Geez limit the supply to keep the price constantly high? What were they thinking?) In a country like Canada, it's a shame if we dont drive one such car. I mean, seriously, look for yourself how many power outlets are there in our parking lots. This is like constant source of recharging our cars. May be someone in Alberta might have trouble driving through those Rocky foothill roads. But how many of us and how many times drive around one such foot hill daily? Next time I buy a car, I have sworn, I am going to buy an electric car or at least definitely a hybrid.

Thanks thatstamil, That seems very thoughtful..
But while you are ga ga ga about the electric cars, pls ask your friend about the pitfalls. There is reason why the electric Cars not picked up pace since it got resurfaced in 1996 but suddenly got phased out. GM and other japenese carmakers stopped making them, till hybrid came on but those are expensive cars. BTW history of automobile will reveal that electric vehicles were made in 1930s before the combustion engine cars picked up and won the race and nobody relooked at that idea till 90s. Why ? What are the reasons ? If driving electric car is cheap why they are not on roads as many ? start exploring...

One more point is that Electric cars may not be environmentally friendly.
Now hold your guns.
Cars run on gasoline which is better than running on electricity which may be generated by coal or the same gasoline (unless we find the origin of the electricty to be either hydro electric power or nuclear). You should also know that electricity has only 80% efficiency (20% waste occurs during transmission).
It is what like my friend Bill Carroll used to say at Newstalk 1010. You need to see the carbon footprint before you decide on anything.

Actually Ontario government has withdrawn / redirected the subsidy for electric / hybrid due to lack of demand in the 2012-2013 budget.
The Nissan Leaf a true electric is available in Canada and no takers for the same.
