I read that too andy. I also read another story of a fire rescue guy that
was using the jaws of live to remove someone from a crashed hybrid. It so
happens that these big electrical cables run through the doors and top of
these cars and when he used the jaws, he was nearly electrocuted! Freakin
stupid green cars...

People are finding that the claimed EPA mileage isn't even close to
reality on their hybrid cars. The EPA uses emissions to take a wild
guess at the your vehicle's estimated fuel mileage, but in reality,
you'll more likely only get 75 to 87 percent of that number.
Dak content: I guess I should really celebrate getting 19 MPG on the
highway now, instead of saying "well it's about time I saw the sticker
mileage on this thing."
