Responding to Donna’s Post: “Meantime, our own Chad Adams has been driving his cute little hybrid (the Blue Bird as I call it) and laughing at the rest of us as he enjoys 50+ miles per gallon.” (Hood calls it the Hobbit car)
The truth is that people buy cars for personal reasons and not to save the planet. Carmakers are now seeing the potential to make money with Hybrids, that’s the driving force behind the new push. If you can make money at it, someone will do it. So, I’m not a visionary, I’m a consumer, a capitalist pig!!!
60mpg with a 600 mile range per tank. I bought it used so it was worth it. Oh, except for the radiation that will affect my kids one day, the batteries that will explode if I get hit by a train and the hamsters on those tiny little wheels that need to be fed once in a while under the hood.
