I suppose that a fully electric vehicle with four independent motors coupled directly to the wheels might be even more efficient. That design would do away with the need for a transmission and differential. You would have to trust the computer to keep the car on the straight and narrow! I for

Home Power magazine ( June 06) did a nice analysis of a Ford hybrid vs non hybrid. The guy intends to keep it for ten years @ 20K miles a year. He projects coming out well ahead - and throws in a battery change in year 6. I'd still like to hear more evidence about superior gas mileage on
