http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050813/ap_on_hi_te/hybrid_tinkerers The 250 mpg was a professor who built a hybrid from the ground up himself as a demo. Most of the changes revolve around people adding a plug-in option to it that increased the average mpg to around 80. However, a company plans to start offering kits to do this for around $12,000. -- Brian
