Greenhybrid mentioned in Motor Trend

I apologize it this has already been mentioned but I just finished the January 2006 Motor Trend and saw that GH was mentioned in the Long Term Prius article. I was so focused on the Car of the Year article that I nearly missed it. MT's long term FE for thier 2004 Prius was only 41.6. They mentioned that the average on GH was 48.4.

I definitely didn't know about this. I haven't been able to find it online but I'll be sure to pick up the magazine. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Greenhybrid mentioned in Motor Trend

That is great news. Time to pick a copy of Motor Trend at the grocery store.

I'm inclined to believe that their FE isn't so hot becasue they have multiple drivers and their staff's driving style is probably much more agressive than ours. However, assuming that they do have an agressive driving style, I'm also inclined to believe that they are doing pretty well.
