Toyota Motor Corp.'s cumulative sales of gas-and-electric-powered vehicles totaled 1.047 million as of the end of May. Of those, nearly 345,000 hybrids were sold in Japan, while 702,000 were sold abroad, the company said in a statement Thursday.
Matt hates hybrids. Anyone have any real experience with one?
Heather comments at Matt's place and says:
I HAVE a hybrid. It's a beautiful 2003 Honda Civic, and I've been averaging 50 mpg around town in the summer, 45 in the winter. I LOVE my car. It's quiet, efficient, and I can easily get 600 miles on 12 gallons.I just don't have the cash to spend now so that I can save later.
True, hybrids still use fuel, but not as much, and isn't that what our goal is? reducing our dependence in this intermediate stage while we find a better solution?

Yeah, I've got a '99 Tahoe...it's necessary right now for hauling all my paint supplies and my brother's transfer wheechair and a large dog. Looking into more economic vehicles. I keep my projects to a closer radius to my home now.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that I hate them as much as I think they are a letdown. I don't understand why I can't buy a car that gets 70, 80 or even 100 miles to the gallon. Why not?
ReplyDeleteHybrids get about as much mileage as a 20 year old Chevette. We're supposed to be excited about this?
