Are Hybrid Cars Good for Us?

I haven't been around in a while - I miss you guys. This article made me think of CleanMPG and the pervasive ideals that American culture has about fuel-efficient vehicles. Enjoy!...

Re: My Yaris got hit again *sigh*

Ugh - it pains me to see this. People need to take a hands-on driver-refreshment course about parking if they are going to hit an object that is not moving. Hope the fix is quick and he doesn't pull...

Re: My Fav Super Bowl Commercial

That was a good one.

Personally, I enjoyed the GM add for their hybrid behemoth getting "50% more gas mileage!" :(

Marketing is child's play. This is the work of Beelzebub.

Tank is at 220 miles and 44.5 MPG. Weather is beautiful, with lows in the mid 60's and highs in the 80's. Literally, beach weather. ;)

Re: A bad day for Nissans, and almost for me

Whew! That story alone got my pulse up! I'm glad you're alright, and while your commute is necessary, I do hope it gets better soon!

Ever thought of an APV for the commute? ;)

Re: Week of January 28th - February 2nd, 2008

Looks to be a good tank. 400 miles and 43.1 MPG on the DIS. A trip home and back helped out some, but rainy weather and traffic jams hampered hypermiling efforts noticeably.

Re: Week of January 21st - January 27th, 2008

A 25 mile run down the expressway helped secure 46+ MPG for this tank so far. Tank is now at 80 miles and 45.7 MPG.
