Don't have one, but here's my only concern with purchasing a hybrid: how many mechanics know how to work on them? If you're driving cross-country and break down in BFE, will anyone know how to fix your car?

I don't have a car, but I'd like to buy a hybrid if I had to have one.

Here's a comparison chart that might help: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/hybrid_sbs.shtml

What about a car that runs on human souls.


They should make that kind next.

Maybe that's something Microsoft could produce... MS Winshield SoulSaver v1.0... currently beta testing...

why do most hybrid cars resemble tampons?

My parents bought some stock a few years ago in an Ethanol plant. It combines petroleum fuel with a corn based fuel. So, in reality if you have ever bought fuel with ethanol in it, you are burning a type of vegetable fuel already.

Look for Ethanol fuel & buy it!!!
