One other thing. My brother bought a Ford Hybred. He was cackling about the 34 MPG he was getting with it. BLAH BLAH BLAH! On it went..till I ask if it would ever get 54 MPG like my VW bug has got on the road and 48 MPG it gets average. And that is from a 2000 model!
He shut up.
Listening to the hybred evangelists gets pretty tedious. I just tell them about the great send-up South Park did on the Prius. They had a routine about the Toyunda "Pious", which emitted a super clean exhaust with no smog,.....but spewed so much smug that nobody could stand having them around.
