I predict that unless hybrid vehicles can at least double the mileage of the same model non-hybrid that most people will wise-up to the fact that they are not economically feasible given the higher cost and the expensive battery replacement. You will not be able to give them away if you want a new vehicle when it is getting near the end of the battery expected life. If economy is the main objective, there are numerous non-hybrids which get at least 40 mpg. Fritz

I never hear anyone complain about the price of water. Back in the 70's the "gas crisis" was a big deal, the price of it went up and the "economy car" was the new standard. We all know now that was a giant lie. Are these hybred cars going to become the new Ford Pintos? It cost me about eight more dollars to drive to Carlsbad now, Oh, I'm such a victim. _________________________________________________________________ More photos, more messages, more storage-get 2GB with Windows Live Hotmail. http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migr ation_HM_mini_2G_0507 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
