Re: [MBZ] OT Prius and OT VW Rabbit

Hybrids get great milage in stop and go driving, where the regenerative 
braking keeps the battery charged up.  I95 between Richmond and 
Balitmore, for example.

Open highway, they get less than the similar sized non-hybrids because 
they weigh more.

Great if you do the standard slow commute, it would be stupid for me to 
get one (all open road with occasional stops).  I'm doing OK with the 
87 300d (29.5 to 33 mpg, depending on fuel).
