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.
What else can I help you with?
Is an electric or gas stove more efficient for cooking?
An electric stove is generally more efficient for cooking compared to a gas stove.
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.
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.
Which type of oven is more energy efficient...gas or electric?
Gas ovens are generally more efficient with energy consumption.
Are gas stoves more efficient than electric stoves?
Gas stoves are generally more efficient than electric stoves because they heat up faster and can be more easily controlled.
Are electric stoves more efficient than gas stoves?
Electric stoves are generally considered to be more efficient than gas stoves because they convert more of the energy they consume into heat for cooking.
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.
What is the difference between a gas and electric oven?
A gas oven uses a gas flame to heat up, while an electric oven uses electric heating elements. Gas ovens are generally more responsive and can provide more even heating, while electric ovens are often more energy efficient.

Which car consumes more gas?
A full electric/battery powered car uses no gas.
Is a tankless electric water heater more efficient than a gas water heater?
Normally NO
