Ok its a problem to persuade a tree hugger that my 20 year old landrover ( at this point please substiute make of choise ) is greener than his pious as the carbon biuld cost are spread over many more years and I do not have to replace a set of batteries every 5 years or so with the repeated manufactureing cost of same, he will repeat as a mantra he gets intergalactic miles per gallon where I get 28 and ignore the other costs.
Yes I have had this discussion and now for the sake of my sanity avoid all Jesus booted bearded folk.
As for batteries in cold weather, ask me why I keep jump leads and a booster pack handy in winter.
