An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

      It’s totally relevant. You said “I’ll still do less environmental damage than you” and your reasoning for that is based on what the average American does.

      So unless you believe that you’re only talking to average Americans, you are using a meaning of the word “you” that literally no one else in the world uses.

          Again, your words:

          I’ll still do less environmental damage than you

          So you sure claim you do. And the evidence you gave was, again, you were talking about the average American. So, again, how do you know that everyone here- that anyone here- is what you describe as an average American?
