Hybrid Kit Could Cut Your Gas Use by 60%
Do you want a hybrid Honda Fit? Or how about a hybrid Passat, or Yaris, or Cobalt or....Yeah. Too bad.

A UK company has revealed a retro-fit hybrid conversion kit that has the potential to cut exhaust emissions in existing cars by nearly 40%, and improve fuel economy by 60%. The system, developed by the Motor Industry Research Association (MIRA), features a removable battery pack, arranged into three portable 30kW cassettes, which upgrade existing ‘conventional’ vehicles into hybrids.
