Why was that? Because your side stepping of questions, introduction of irrelevant details, and flat out refusal to admit to knowing things that anybody claiming to have a chemistry degree would know, eventually bored me to tears. So I stopped reading the thread. If you've finally decided to stop bullshitting around the point, answer me these questions (three): How much power does a pair of 60 Watt headlight globes consume? How much energy does an hour of that power consumption require? How much petrol would a typical internal combustion engine and alternator need to produce that much power in the form of electricity. Feel free to estimate errors - I don't expect or need 3 significant figures of accuracy, an answer to the nearest order of magnitude is fine. Oh, and I suppose we'll also need from you the specifications of the volume of a thimble. One warning though, as soon as you start mentioning 4 pages of calculations about combustion efficiency or the effect of RON ratings I'll know you're just, what was that word someone coined? Hamsturbating again... big -- "Everything you love, everything meaningful with depth and history, all passionate authentic experiences will be appropriated, mishandled, watered down, cheapened, repackaged, marketed and sold to the people you hate."
