Default Re: the NEW gem: "Hybrid hype"

IMO, the thing that could potentially hurt hybrid sales is driving them the way that we do. Notice, I said "we". I'm ~43.5 mpg on this tank and I didn't get that way by zooming along at the speed limit. The perception of those around me have to be that my 255 hp Accord hybrid is gutless. It's hard not playing the game, but undoubtedly, it will cost sales if that's the perception.

I can't wait to hear the rebuttal coming with this one. Remember, I'm an offender, too. Maybe I'll try to compromise a bit more in an effort to promote normalcy.
