Jason let me first off congraduate you on a very nice database but I would guess even 48 mpg for a prius II is a tad high vs the national wide avg.

reason being this yr alone 100,000 prius II will be made and only a handfull 154 are in the data base.

Many of those 154 people hypermile due to education from this forum but how many of those 100,000 new Prius II sold this yr will be hypermiled??? How many will be drove like a normal car??

Does that make a Prius II bad because it gets 40 to 48 mpg instead of 50-60mpg??? Heck no, a 4 passenger midsize car getting 40+ even 50+ mpg is great.

IMO if Gore wants to save the planet and get the USA off petro we should start using Biodiesel that can be used in the current pumps and tanks with current delv methods. Nothing like farm grown products vs drilled products.

oops got off topic sorry.

Extra cost is a factor but the current hybrids aren't designed for the lower scaled cars. I don't see a honda DX hybrid being sold and I would venture people would buy alot of those. Honda HCH (dx) for 16,000 would sell very fast and Honda would sell alot of them.

Money is not evil. Good people do good things with money and bad people do bad things with money. Which will you be???

The ultimate Altima = 2.5L V6 twin turbo diesel(150hp/250tq) with 60 hp HEV and LARGE battery.


Great style & looks with power and great MPG
