Not trolls. I'm discussing the issues you raise and correcting you.

Established. You really, really are. You, Bob, are ridiculously stupid.

I did, Slow Bob, and I used an example which shows >43% increased fuel
efficiency and a significant reduction in emissions (e.g., greenhouse
gases). You make Forrest Gump look like Albert Einstein.
