Are hybrid cars a threat to the enviroment?
John Galt asked: We know they run on gas and batteries. When these huge batteries are no longer useful, how will we dispose of them? What will we do in 5-10 years when we have 10 million of these things to dispose of, sink them to the bottom of the ocean? There is not a good idea yet about what to do with these. They will threaten our water supply if we put them underground. I think hybrids are worse for the environment (long-term) than the normal combustion engines. That’s why I drive a huge suburban!
What are my options for rental car insurance?
Kevin212 asked: I am renting a car for one month from Hertz. Their insurance is very expensive (at $25 per day, it adds $900 to my costs). I have already asked my credit card company if they offer auto insurance for a rental car. Do you have any suggestions on other options for inusuring a rental car for one month?
I do not own a car, so I do not have any personal auto insurance. This rental will be in the United States.
Are car care accessories, oil, coolant, etc. gonna be more expensive at a regular store or auto parts store?
Da Austrian Oak asked: By a regular store, I could mean a grocery store that also has a Pharmacy and office supplies, car stuff, magazines, etc., or a gas station, or whatever. By an auto parts store, I don’t mean one that sells just auto parts. The ones I’ve been to sell everything car-related. What I’m getting at here is, is a place that sells all car stuff gonna charge you more cuz that’s where you’d go to get everything you need for your car or would a regular store charge you more cuz that’s not their most popular items?
How will fuel cells from current hybrid cars be disposed of when they are exhausted?
astrocatastrophe asked: Is the environmental impact of making and disposing of these fuel cells a good trade-off for the extra gas mileage and lower emissions? Probably yes, but I cannot find any reliable info on this.
Is a tire alignment necessary for car maintenance or only when you need it?
airforcewolf asked: I went to Tire Kingdom recently and they tried to persuade me to get a tire alignment as part of my car’s maintenance. But it handles just fine and I don’t really have any problems with the steering. The tires themselves are okay, too. Were they just trying to scam me or are tire alignments really a preventative maintenance procedure?
What is the best car insurance provider for young drivers?
