well maybe. It hadn't been started at all in ~2-3 weeks and it did get treated
to 2-3 mins of cranking.Given the price of diehard etc, I'm likely to go to the
stealership ($109) for a battery. They have been uprated to 100Ah...

I'm with you Tom, whats a moderate to do?
I'll tell you what I do, I drive at 20 year old car that averages better than
35mpg. I've got 85 acres that within a decade should be covered with trees.
Every month I invest in insulating my house a little better. I replace
incadescent lightbulbs with cf. I use my woodstove which is of the new low
particulate clean burn type. We don't throw out any food or paper waste, that
all gets composted.
Everything metal, glass or plastic goes in the recycling. The block heater for
my car is on a timer, outside lights are off at night since theres a
streetlight anyway. I'm not a fanatic, just trying to do little things to
reduce my ecological footprint.
I'd say your 28mpg car is not as big a pollution problem as some soccer mom
with 2 kids in a Suburban. Think what it costs in terms of environmental impact
to MAKE that stupid SUV and in the next 10 years she'll have 2 or maybe even
3...
Driving an older moderately efficient car is recycling at its best.

I find it interesting that allot of US citizens (who by the way make up
5%
of the worlds population but consume 26% of its energy) refuse to
believe
what we are doing cannot harm the 20 mile deep ocean of air we have
surrounding us. Even in the face of facts and greatest scientific
minds
refuse to agree. I guess the other countries who are on board with
this are
not as smart as them. All you have to do is look at the amount of NOx,
SOx,
CO and CO2 we emit which is in the millions of tons per year do the
computer
modeling and ask yourself how can it not affect our ocean of air.
What amazes me is none of our leaders or so called leaders every (or I
have
not heard it shouted out) have asked joe American public to turn off
unneeded lights, drive 65 instead of 80 on the highways, make one less
trip
to Wal-Mart a month, mandate 30mpg new cars, have these places with
all the
parking lots light up like fort Knox go to night vision systems for
surveillance ect ect ect. I bet with a little effort we could reduce
our
consumption by 15 to 20% (and some pollution) if we would be lead as a
group
with some good incentives and direction to suck it up a little. We can
do
this immediately with little effort or capital outlay. My 2 cents.

What's your experience with this? I started doing this, and found
that they don't last any longer than incandescent, and are much more
expensive, so I stopped. With the lifespans I've experienced, I doubt
that the savings in electricity is going to offset the premium I paid
for the bulb (though I haven't actually done the math).
Plus don't they contain mercury? What do you do with them when they
burn out.
