First, petroluem based products are relatively easy to utilize in various ways including gasoline powered automobiles. Current electric technology hasn't solved the distance problems with electric cars. About 90 miles or so per charge doesn't compare well with gas powered vehicles that can go 350 to 400 miles on a tankful of gasoline. Also there are few places to recharge your electric car on the highway and it takes 2 to 3 hours per charge. A gasoline powered vehicle can be filled in about 5 minutes and be off and running again.
LAst but not least...while electric vehicles may eventually reduce the amount of foreign oil we need to import, the green value is not true. Producing the batteries for an electric vehicle has a much greater carbon foot print than building a gas powered vehicle.

Which type of car is more efficient a gas powered car or an electric car?
Electric there better for the environment. They can travel far enough to cover 90% of the travel distance of the population.
Which type of oven is more energy efficient...gas or electric?
Gas ovens are generally more efficient with energy consumption.
Why did the gas car win over the electric?
The gas car won over the electric model because of its higher power output. Gas is much cheaper and efficient than comparable electric engines.
Is a electrical or natural gas heater for my home more efficient?
Gas heaters are much more efficient. Electric resistance heaters are, by nature, hideously inefficient.
Which is the cheaper and more efficient gas central heating or electric heating?
Hi, Electric heating it self is more efficient, however the way the electric is produced is not.typically for every 1kW of power you put into to an electric heater you get 1kW out, but it to produce the electric it takes 3kW of coal ect, to produce 1kW of electric. A gas boiler can be 98% efficient so overall better.So unless you have way of producing electric yourself or have an efficient supplier, go for gas.Hope this helps.gas.
Is a tankless electric water heater more efficient than a gas water heater?
Normally NO
What's the most energy efficient/cost effective type of range?
A gas range is more energy efficient than an electric one.
Which car consumes more gas?
A full electric/battery powered car uses no gas.
Does the Maytag Neptune electric dryer work as well as the gas version?
The gas version is going to be much more efficient. If you have a gas household, go with the gas version.
What RC car is better electric or gas?
gas is faster and better but costs way more
Is a hybrid car efficient?
Yes and No. It is more efficient then a conventional gas powered system, but still has a long way to go in terms of being real efficient.
Why did Chrysler put the fuel pump in the gas tank?
Electric pumps are more efficient pushing versus pulling and the fuel cools the pump.Electric pumps are more efficient pushing versus pulling and the fuel cools the pump.
