A Prius at 100 mph still uses less gas than most SUVs at 40 mph.

Come one let's be fare.

I am sure that Gore ver 3.0, did nothing more than confuse the speedometer with the mileage readout, and thought he was simply achieving 100 mpg. Boy, would that have made his dad proud.

And it's well known that Vicodin reduces your speed by 50%.

Can he just buy carbon credits to offset his crimes?

Carbon credits... the new indulgences... what I want are Methane credits... if I buy beef, a cow dies. That offsets way more than my own methane emissions (although some might argue that point)!

On a more serious note - Could this have been the 3rd reported unexplained acceleration?

All I can say is that I hope his dad turned off the lights at home before hopping in the private jet to visit him!

...the production of 1kg of beef releases greenhouse gases with a warming potential equivalent to 36.4kg of carbon dioxide.
Awesome!

Boy, I laughed so hard at your comments....that I almost passed some CH4 of my own...

Now, seriously, you are also absolutely right about carbon credits. Get paid by someone to forgive his "carbon sins".
