look you miss understand---I didn't mean hey your in a big truck and now I'm
god on the road. I'm talking from 20 years in the auto-truck industry-and 15
years as a f.f I've seen both sides of the coin injuries to people and
cars---logically the closer the dash is to your knees legs etc. the faster
it will be on top of you in a crash. besides all people think there
invincible remember with anti-lock brakes,does not mean you can drive faster
in ice and snow and then be able to stop like dry pavement. people are there
worst enemy to them selves.

I have a friend who has a Prius and he said it does make a big difference
during local stop-and-go driving, but not much on the highway. My Toyota
gets over 30mpg and it's not a hybrid. There are lots of non-hybrid cars
out
there now that get 30+ mpg.

From what I have seen and heard, they really don't get that much better
mileage that there gas counterparts. They talk more about how your helping
the environment on emissions that saving gas or you money. Plus like has
been said, they cost more, so are you really saving money? For me, I just
try and make all my trips in a organized fashion. Also to me it seems like
these hybrids should be getting better mileage than they do, I seem to
remember the Geo Metro getting like almost 50 mpg. and now I hear them
bragging about 32 or 34 mpg! to me it seems like they lost something
somewhere. Sorry for the rant.
