RE: [T3] Hybrids


The 92 gas only Civic VX could do 60MPG on the  highway and rode halfway
decent.  Ever ride in a Hybrid?  Its like being in an 86 Hyundai excel with
overinflated tires.  Noisy and stiff as all heck.

If the batteries are lead based they would pose a significant environmental
hazard... If we could break through the battery technology barrier we would
really have something... and I might even throw and electric motor in the
back of the Square!

Americans think 40mpg is great mileage, but it's actually not that good. 
Getting 50mpg doesn't require hybrid technology, just a small engine with
good
fuel control.  An ex-girlfriend had a Renault 5 in 1981 that would get
45mpg...
