An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

I think you are having trouble understanding the English language. Most people have heard of a thing called context.

“A programmer is going to the store and his wife tells him to buy a gallon of milk, and if there are eggs, buy a dozen. So the programmer goes shopping, does as she says, and returns home to show his wife what he bought. But she gets angry and asks, ‘Why’d you buy 13 gallons of milk?’ The programmer replies, ‘There were eggs!’”

Now as we are describing car types one with a gas and one with an electric engine, and comparing their prices, maybe put the LLM context tokens slightly higher before responding.

No, the OP didn't say a word about cars. Learn to read please.

Once again you appear incapable of understanding context. The explain XKCD article might be of help.
