MDC is right, NoSUV. Hybids aren't alternative fuel vehicles because they don't run without gas. A gallon will last a bit longer, so there's the advantage.

NoSUV,
You just don't want to get it. The point is that Hybrids are not "alternative fuel". That's all. |

stewart,
You've got some great inputs to some vexing questions here. Why don't you hang around awhile and keep enlightening us? There's enough other people who might learn something if they'd read what you write! NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care! |

quote: MDC - I guess you just don't get it; were you a liberal arts major? Tell me, how many miles (or yards) can a convetional gas only car travel without gas? Can you compare that to how far a hybrid can travel without gas - it's a simple calculation, even if you studied jounalism! |

The point was that without burning gasoline, your hybrid is worthless. There is no battery power without burning ordinary gasoline.
Hybrids are not gasoline AND electric powered. They are gas powered. |

quote: Yep--he gave a temproary waiver until September 15 so areas like northern Virginia won't have to worry about selling in-spec fuels. If he hadn't we'd be running out of gas very quickly. The turnover between summer and winter fuels this year is September 15th anyway so hopefully nobody will be too upset that there will be two weeks where a little more pollution is created, given the circumstances that put us in this situation. |

I heard on 107.7 last night that Bush put a stop to this fuel-blend in order to produce product more quickly.
