High-performance sports cars and large trucks with an emphasis on high-powered engines—and little or no attention to fuel economy ratings—end up at the bottom of the list in the annual Green Book from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE).

The Green Score is a numeric value of a vehicle's environmental friendliness assigned by ACEEE. It is not based solely on fuel economy, but also incorporates tailpipe emissions and emissions of gases that cause global warming. The higher the Green Score, the more environmentally friendly the vehicle is overall, based on the ACCEEE evaluation.

Batgirl was in the H3 section. She's getting a white one.

I read that whole dumb ass article on MSN too. There's five minutes of my life I will never get back.

Sorry Batgirl,

At first I thought you were a Troll posting that crappy list to get us worked up.

Then Tim pointed out you were getting "White". I thought,"She should try other men. Why stick to just one kind? And the boring variety at that." Then I realized white H3!!!! MY BAD! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

We're not pigs, except DRTYFN. Watch him..Watch him gewd. He bad man. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Anyways, sorry for the rude posts. Welcome to the fold sister. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

She's probably not getting yellow because of the well documented short-comings.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Where is our little Batgirl from, anyway?

It's too bad your mother didn't raise her prices. Maybe you wouldn't exist.

Thanks, I'm definitly not a troll. My avatar is a cute puppy sleeping, the avatars are so small on this site I couldn't put my regular one...you can barely see them. I actually ordered a black H3 and wanted to know if anyone had pics of a white one cause I was thinking about that color to.
Ps: thanks for the welcome http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

You got it all wrong. We are helping the Planet:

Ananova: Car Exhausts "May Slow Global Warming"

A climate expert says global warming could be balanced out by the cooling effect of car exhausts. He says aerosols pumped out by vehicles can lead to the formation of rain droplets in clouds which, in turn, has a cooling effect. Computer climate models which predict global warming may not have taken this effect into account.

Ran Ramanathan, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California, says aerosol output has increased by about a third since 1980. The Times reports he has calculated that the cloud-seeding effect of aerosols could lower temperatures locally by up to 2.5C.

Aerosols are also produced by industrial processes and naturally by volcanoes but do have some negative health and environmental effects. Ramanathan said: "There is a possibility that it might add more impact or virtually balance all the impact of greenhouse warming."
