Interesting discussion here. I have to agree a lot with what Shakran has been saying about technology being misapplied in relation to fuel economy. In the '70's I had a neighbor with an electric car that was interviewed by the local rag with a lean towards eying it as viable alternative. While it had obvious shortcomings, basically it was a knee-jerk response to the times, which is what I regard a hybrid as today. It's very discouraging that the country that used to lead the world in the automotive industry won't even try to produce an efficient car that isn't either a gimmick or a shitbox. Don't even get me started on a bailout.
