The Myers Motors No
more Gas (NmG) personal electric vehicle
helps you do all those things you always
wanted to do, but were never given the chance
to do, until now! The NmG gives
you the ability to:
Just
say NO:
to sending your money to support non-democratic regimes who fund activities
aimed at undermining the American freedoms we enjoy,
Dump
the pump before the pump dumps you:
Full-page ads placed by Chevron in major
magazines in 2006 boldly proclaimed that “The
world consumes two barrels of oil for every
barrel discovered” and “It took
us 125 years to use the first trillion barrels
of oil. We’ll use the next trillion
in 30.” Oil production in the
US and in many other oil producing countries
has pea
ked. Oil use has continued to
grow. Isn’t now the time to dump
the pump … and develop a better alternative … before
the pump runs dry and dumps you?

Save money on fuel:
A popular gas-electric hybrid averages around 50 miles to the gallon. At
$4.03 per gallon1, that comes to $0.08 per mile of fuel costs. The NmG all-electric
vehicle, by comparison, costs somewhere between $0.01 and $0.02 in fuel costs,
per mile.
Save
Time:
The NmG allows you to save time
by
Driving in the HOV/car
pool lanes,
Using motorcycle parking
and/or using spots too small for cars to
park in,
Having first-on and
first-off ferry privileges,
Conveniently use
existing resources:
110 volt outlets are everywhere; no new
infrastructure is needed to be able to
plug into the future, today.
Social
Responsibility:
America’s 5% of the world’s
population uses 25% of the world’s
energy. Partial responsibility
for this is because the American
government subsidizes the cost
of gasoline at the pump, thus
costing each individual user
of gasoline less than it actually
costs society to have that gasoline
available.
For
example, the true cost
of gasoline that is
not fully included
in the per gallons
price at the pump includes:
Extra
tax incentives and
subsidies other businesses
don’t receive,
Costs
related to military
protection of our oil
supplies,
Charges
for cleaning up environmental
problems after spills,
Higher
prices triggered by
damage to agriculture,
and
Payment
for health problems
caused by our use of
oil.
Estimates
have placed the true cost
of gasoline around $10
per gallon.
Reduce
your impact on global warming:
Every
day Americans travel over 7 billion miles and
burn through around 400 million gallons of gasoline 2 spewing
approximately 10.5 billion pounds of carbon dioxide
(CO2) into the air that we breathe3.
Several other countries are beginning to catch
up with those figures. Many scientists believe
this additional CO2 contributes to climate change.
They believe this may be the reason we have seen
the temperature extremes, droughts, unusually
severe rains, increasingly fierce storms, and
melting glaciers of the last few years. Experts
warn that we need to stop dumping extra carbon
into the air before it's too late to stop the
damage.
