And what is all this fuss about "great" mpg with a hybrid? Since when is 40-45 MPG worth driving some horrid looking excuse for an automobile? I had an 83 Tercel that got 40 MPG. I had a 90 CRX that got 40-45 MPG. I have a 94 Sol that gets 40+ MPG when I drive it responsibly. So if 40 MPG was possible in 1983 with an ALL gasoline platform, why is 45 MPG in 2008 with a Hybrid a big deal? It's not, get a clue people. Every one of these fools that buys a hybrid because they think they're helping the environment is an idiot. The only thing buying some hideous piece of garbage that gets the same gas mileage as an 83 Toyota proves is that you're moron. Don't buy the Hypebrids, make them realize that when it comes to electric and zero emissions it's ALL or NOTHING.

yep. you're exactly right. i remember looking up the cost of a hybrid versus how much i'd save in gas.. it'd take years and years before it payed itself off. and 40-45 mpg really isn't at all impressive. i'll drive my civic and be happy with my 30mpg and my car's stunning good looks
