    In my case, it is Solar City panels on my roof. I generate more electricity than I consume and consequently get a rebate from SCE.

    Obviously the Mustang, because it has no touch screen :) But seriously, are you trying to pitch safety to a Mustang owner? My '97 still has the gas tank located behind the rear axle just like the old Pintos. I'd probably be mildly safer on a motorcycle.

    In New England, it should be primarily natural gas with a transition to some fuel oil during the winter as gas is diverted to home heating instead of electric generation (and supply is pipeline limited):
    ISO New England

    I've never heard John mention anything about a solar roof.

    Thank you.

    That would make this statement incorrect then...

    LOL. Most of the statements el Crucero fall somewhere close to that mark.
