Re: Driving hybrids into the Mainstream/Nov. 10, 2005
From the article:
The city of Clearwater in Florida purchased some Prius for its police and municipal departments and reports that after a year-long test the hybrid got more than 40 miles to the gallon, compared with 15 for a standard Ford Taurus. The city estimates it saved more than $8,000 in gasoline costs per vehicle over 75,000 miles of driving.
R2-E2, 2G Prius.
Highway/City/Husband/Wife MPG: 56.5, as of 12/2005, 26K miles
Jac Nasser, Ford President: "We are planning to launch a hybrid version of
this car [P2000] within this year [1998]. We will also make FCEV available in
2004."
