Hybrid Owners You took Over HOV now out web site?

mdog,

Please enlighten all of us with which of those vehicles qualified for Clean Special Fuel plates by VDOT.

Now, let's review the REAL statistics:

NOx (that's nitrogen oxide) in grams/mile:
Light duty hybrid: .02
Passenger car: .10
Light duty truck 2: .30 (like Jeep Cherokee, Dodge Caravan)
Light duty truck 4: .60 (like Ford F-150, Land Rover)
Heavy duty truck: .90 (like Hummer)

Now, perhaps you can do the simple math and try to divide .9 by .02 and let us know if you come up with a different number than 45.

Keep trying mdog - you just embarrass yourself.

NoSUV, no it's you who's refusing to face the facts: hybrids are not 5x more efficient than comparable cars. Even more, hybrids efficiency is a function of diminishing returns, and the bigger/heavier the hybrid, the less it's advantage with a comparable non-hybrid car. Good example - Lexus LS. Stop comparing your Prius to a Hammer. Compare it with Focus, Chevy Cobalt, Nissan Versa. Compare their mileage @ 60-70 MPG. The real one, not 'EPA estimate'. A Cobalt with 3 occupants does at least twice smaller damage to the environment than 3 hybrids. Plain and simple.

mdog - as usual, you are wrong. I used The Washington Post for my source. What did you use?

It's not about the MPG, but the emissions. A Cobalt is far, far worse than 3 hybrids with it's emissions - it needs to be HOV-5 to keep up with one!

It's just a nice benefit that the hybrid ALSO gets great mileage.

Please, mdog, find some reputable source for your spoutings.

sluDgE, according to NoSUV, hybrids produce completely different type of emissions. Those that are known to heal cancer and bring peace on Earth. Continiously. [:p]

The most dramatic comparison in the multi-vehicle DOE study was analyzing the differences between the Toyota Prius—the quintessential hybrid—and the Jaguar XJ8, a high-performance vehicle. To establish a baseline for efficiency, the DOE researchers searched for the speed at which each vehicle was the most efficient. They used a treadmill-like device called dynamometer to run the vehicles at a constant speed for 30 continuous minutes. The most efficient speed for the Toyota Prius was 20 mph, and its least efficient level was 70 mph.

It's obvious hybrids shine - and belong!- in cities and stop-n-go traffic. They have no place on HOV.

And the "most efficient speed" for your vehicle is what - 35 mph? Is that the speed at which you travel?

How efficient is YOUR vehicle at 70?

Instead of distorting facts, how about some more useful information.

Figures don't lie, but liars figure.

mdog,

Asked and answered previously. Your assertations are completely baseless. There have been several postings about the 100% recycling programs from more than one web source.

How do you define marginally? The emissions are 5x less.
