I have never understood why when they know that putting it in the air is bad they would start to try and mess up the aquifers too. They will spend tons of money on a poor solution they can label "green" instead of just surrendering to a long term solution. bob allen wrote: >a big part of the "

Re: [Biofuel] Have You Hugged Your Hummer Today?

yes comparing hybrid to non hybrid is not much of a comparison - they are too different and the hybrid would really shine in stop and go. If they are comparing mpg then the prime movers need to be the same technology. Again the hybrid should shine in the city. On open road you are relying on the en

Yes and constant starting is not what your starter was designed for so you'll be replacing it a hell of a lot sooner. What is the energy budget of that scenario? Gasoline engines run richer when starting also. Joe robert and benita rabello wrote: > Simon Fowler MADUR-SALES wrote: > > >>

Re: [Biofuel] Have You Hugged Your Hummer Today?

A diesel WILL outperform a gasoline hybrid in overall fuel economy. But when we drive around town, there are times when we're using NO fuel at all, which means we're not putting anything into the air either. We burn NO fuel while sitting at a light. A diesel can't do that. I beg to diffe

Re: [Biofuel] Have You Hugged Your Hummer Today?

Kirk,   I respectfully disagree.   By definition, hybrids are about throwing the apples and oranges in the same basket.   (IMO), what makes one hybrid scheme better than another is the region it's being used and what type of fuel (or fuels) are most abundant and best suited for promoting sust
