Right-the primary reason a hybrid saves gas is by recovering *some*
otherwise wasted braking energy. But you'd get better mileage by not
breaking in the first place, which you don't hopefully do a lot of on
the highway.

Well, I wouldn't say not better at all. They are somewhat better, but
the bigger benefit is in the city where you brake alot, have stop and go
traffic, etc. City mileage will be better than highway. I get 35ish

Depends on your definition of highway, but not due to the hybrid itself.
Better aerodynamics and powertrain engineering may make it better. The

Matt,
Current;ly the definition the senate was looking at defined underserved as
financially disabled.
Financial info should likely be available online via government census
sites, because its not just something specific to broadband.
As far as unserved, thats their point of a mapping effort.
Until gas is about $4/gallon, yes. But, it depends if there's a
subsidy on the car still, and which model you're getting. It's nearly
impossible (for example) to recover the cost difference on a Toyota
Highlander iirc. But the Highlander _does_ get better acceleration ;-).
