Wait until the first oil change and you find that hybrids use a special "hybrid only" blend that costs the owner over $30 for a four cylander engine (Normal oil change costs $21)

Wait until they must replace the braking system

WAIT, I said, WAIT until they must replace the battery at approxiamately 130,000 miles -- I received an estimate of over $3,000

And lastly, consider the pollution and cost of disposing old batteries and components and the ever-present danger of electro-magnetic energy hitting your body over prolonged periods of time (it's like sitting inside a cellphone).

I drive a red chebby short box P.U.with a screamin vortac V8. I lub my chebby and never will even ride in a Trius.

I leave the trius's behind on the steep hills of Vermont!

Whatever. My hybrid uses the same 5w20 that the conventional version uses. Please try to rely on the facts.
