I think that there were numerous others across the country and around the world that raised voices as well. This is not to take away from the efforts that those here at GH made - they were indeed a significant part of the mix.

I salute CR for their quick reaction to the comments and their public correction of the computational error.

I still have questions about the assumptions underlying the "costs of ownership" for the vehicles. This is particularly true for the four for which CR concluded would cost more than their nonhybrid counterparts. (As an FEH owner, I know that the CR result is invalid for me. I am suspicious of the general applicability of much of the rest of the CR article.)
