If all the cars in the US were powered by electric motors instead of Gasoline engines, without any reduction in the number of miles driven annually, then the total amount of fossil fuels consumed in the US would be cut in half, despite the fact that most of the electricity in the US is produced by burning the fossil fuels.
If the statement concerning the impact of electric cars on the consumption of fossil fuels is true, which of the following statements must be true?
A. Coal, natural gas, and oil burning electric power plants together account for 50% of the fossil fuels consumed in the US.
B. Gasoline- powered cars account for more of the fossil fuels consumed in the US than any other single method of consumption.
C. Electric cars result in less pollution to the environment than any other method of transportation.
D. In terms of pound-miles per unit of energy, electric cars are more efficient than any other form of transportation.
E. A complete switch-over from gasoline-powered to electric-powered cars would result in no difference in the number of milesdriven annually in the US.

ARGUMENT
if cars went from gas to electric, then fossil fuel consumption would be cut in half;
without any reduction in the number of miles driven annually;
most electricity is produced by fossil fuel;
miles driven won't decrease, but they can increase;
most means that of all electricity produced the largest part is from fossil fuels, but this doesn't mean it accounts for 50% of fossil fuel consumed;
it must be true that gas powered cars consumed 50% of fossil fuel
Ans (B)
