Okay. But therein lies the conundrum. To take an engine from an
existing auto that already gets 78.5 mpg and put it into a hybrid
configuration only to get 80.0 mpg would give the inclination
that something is largely awry. A hybrid that only gets 1.5 mpg
greater efficiency is a great deal of work

Oh but biofuel is extremely political, as are fossil fuels and

I have been keeping my on the inverter subject for a while. As a

Most inverters are notorious energy wasters. Energy waste is
