good point, that is actually really dangerous. i've scared a bunch of people in parking lots.

Do you drive a Prius? I saw a red one today... it looked a lot better than black, which is the color I had originally wanted.

I love how people can't help but make stupid assumptions. I'm capable of thinking of my own questions. The purpose of a news story is to bring new information to people.

I am one person and can't think of all the questions people might have about hybrid vehicles so I was just asking for input since the people here are more technically inclined.

Therfore I'm not looking for any set number of questions. I just want to find out the reasons that really drive people to buy them and if they really know what they're getting. I don't care if you don't like hybirds so don't give me questions that will just piss off the hybrid owners, that gets me nowhere.

Might want to go to Priuschat.com; there are plenty of noobs and verteran hybrid owners there.

You'll find tons of hard data there. For instance, there's a subforum dedicated to keeping track of mileage. It's a friendly board and they'll be happy to answer any questions.

Cool, I have a question. Does Ford intend on making a hybrid Focus?

Def lots of info, I just spent 20 minutes looking around there.

Found a link to an article saying that Hybrids only accounted for 80,000 of the 17 million vehicles sold in the US last year, less than 1%

Kind of goes against my idea that people are running out to buy them

True, but I do belive hybrid numbers will continue to rise. Look at the new and upcoming hybrids on the way... There was also a recent article somewhere that predicts the % of hybrids by 2010; I'll try and find it for u.
