Maybe we should scrap the slug line...

...and everyone push to get diesel cars that run on bio diesel.

That way we can all be stuck in traffic, with less emissions. Hey, maybe we can even get VDOT to approve clean fuel tags?????

I'm kidding, but this is a good read, I'd rather have a "french fry" mobile on the road than a hybrid with just a driver.

Because they see big $$$$ in something that it's been for free since then.

Come on, McDonald's has to see a way of making $$$ off this... I can see it now, "I'll have a Combo #5 and 15 gallons of your french fry oil." "That will be $43.55, please pull forward and Sparky will pump your fry oil while we cook your burger."[:D][:D][:D]

Anything that reduces overall demand should be considered. That's why hybrids are so great - even WITH just a driver! We need more legislation that makes the extra purchase cost of a hybrid feasible, whether it's the extension of the exemption of changing the Express (HOV) lanes to busses and hybrids only.

NoSUV, I am surprised that an "advanced member" like you is still a hybrid hugger. You should know that hybrids do not reduce traffic congestion, nor do they reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. They are a farce, a way for the auto manufacturers to create another product to sell, a marketing ploy built on our desire to do the right thing. Only they distract us from the real issue, we have built our society on finite resources with a planned obsolesence. Fossil fuels (remember hybrids still burn gas) are so last century! Get with the program; hydrogen, alcohol, bio diesel, solar, wind, hydro and pedal power are the fuels of the future. Renewable, plentiful, powerful.

Oh, now I get it, you are a hybrid driver! That's alright, I know you wanted to do the right thing! Just please don't try to fool us with that political rhetoric about how great hybrids are; we, the informed, know better.
