pity reply

Honestly, I like the concept of hybrids, but EVERYONE would have to drive one to make a big difference. When they become more efficient, I think we'll see more sales of them.

I've been curious if there would be any low volume performance hybrids, as this article hints about.

Cool

This is America. No one cares about efficiency.

As long as they make them look like normal cars instead of the these deformed mini electric vehicles.

I hear that gas engines only burn 25% of the possible energy of gasoline, true?

Hybrids good idea, but too small for my tastes.

My next car purchase will be a hybrid Ford Escape.

I do. I like being able to get around 475 miles on a tank of gas in my Camry.

My parents truck will do 400+ miles on 26 gallons.

 

[thomsbrain]

my uncle's truck holds 32 gallons. costs like $60 to fill it.

 

[Lithium381]

i go about 300miles in my 88 accord.....costs about $15 to fill it, so i think i'm doing fairly well

 

[WinkOsmosis]

I estimate that I can go about 300 miles on my ~15 gallon tank. This was with 87 octane instead of the required 91+.

You know what is fun? Riding the bus for free with your student ID and using 1/4 tank per week.

 

[Adul]

would be cool to go 1000 miles ona 40 gallon tank

thanks to the ford exploder we're be dependant on foreign oil

if everyone drove hybrids we'd hardly need foreign oil, or atleast OPEC oil
