Default Re: Hybrids could join taxi fleets

think about the way these idiots drive, is a hybrid really going to help. I can make my hybrid get just as bad FE as a floored suburban if I load it full of passengers and floor it everywhere, brake hard, etc.

I would like to support the idea, but it seems they would also need to provide driving classes for the drivers to be able to drive one.

On the other hand, I think it would be a great way for manufacturers to do some more studys on high mileage hybrids, or even on hybrid performance in general. Maybe the outcome would be a hybrid that a cabbie could drive and still get impressive gas mileage. Then they could release it to the public and we could all drive like cabbies.

Ok, im just rambling now, im done.

...most likely a donkey, but if he had to drive a car, i bet it would be a hybrid.
