It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I was not thinking about the cost for the wallet but more for the cost for the environment.

I don't think using 5 time more energy just to gain few minutes is the best use of limited resources, we are transitioning from a world where resources a considered unlimited to a world where resources are scarce and need to be used appropriately.

So there is a change coming for sure but I expect the change will be more that speed on highways will get lower, few countries are already considering lowering the speed limit on highways.
