What you said about the TCH may not be true (I have no idea--I've never driven one).  |
Easy does it, Mr. Kite. Not looking for a tiff by any means, and I'll definitely give honor where honor's due for any mega-hypermiler -- living in the actual "high altitude" trenches, to boot! -- who is obviously much more FE-driven / FE-obsessed than myself.
This particular forum isn't just for HCH II members, and as such read by others as well. While maybe hastily phrased, my comment wasn't directed to your [in-depth, I can only assume] knowledge of the HCH II's characteristics per-se; it was just meant to be a point of clarification -- for other potential readers, incl. new HSD owners -- about the mere fact that not all hybrids are created equal (and no, let's NOT get into that particular debate/competition right now, that's again not the point I'm trying to make). Simply put, I didn't want any newbie HSD owner to read that comment in a "general topics discussion" forum and think it'd work for him/her as well.
'Nuff Said. Can you pls bury that hatchet?
's on me the next time I'm in town!
