XCEL-Thanks.I didn't realize that they-Prius- could use so little energy.No wonder folks want to add another battery pack to make them plug in capable.We(South La.) pay about 12 cents a 1000WH.At 200WH/Mile it would be about 2 1/2 cents a mile-very cheap-1/2 the price it would cost a 50mpg vehicle with $2.50 gasoline.Thanks
I see that the new little Honda will have full airbag protection.If you will actually be able to buy one for $14000(with a 5 speed auto)-they will be a real bargain;close to the Hybrid Civic in city mpg,but a lot cheaper.I don't picture Chevy selling many Aveo's if Honda produces adequate numbers of their car.Of course,Honda is usually very careful about matching production to demand,and they always seem to err on the side of underproduction.Hope they get them out before the next big price spike.Thanks.Charlie
