I won't disagree on that one....Just returned from a 4-day trip to Colorado. I had no less than five substantial inquiries about hybrids - referred them to www.greenhybrid.com during the conversation.

Want to thank the Colorado Insighter that recently posted about driving from Denver to Vail(?) on I70. Tried that last Saturday and found out my 5-speed Insight can do 65mph, albeit almost red-lining. Extended climbs are just bad for the IMA engines, but my 1988 Honda CRX HF could not even do 50mph.

By the capital building in Denver, was following a utility truck - "xcel energy"

.

61.5mpg lifetime - 82mpg in recent months
