Hybrid cars

Wow...what a scam this is !
People are being told that hybrid cars are getting fantastic mileage (up to 75 mpg in some cases), when the truth is that in everyday use, not a one of them is getting over 35 mpg.
Besides these first generation models have electic motors that burn out and need replacement ($1,000 -$3,000 ea.) in less than 60,000 miles. Add in the extra pricing ($3,000-$1,2000) and the increased cost of insurance and you're not saving any money.
AAA and Edmunds have both figured out that you will actually save about $81 over a period of 5 years...big deal.
The only reason to buy one of these hybrids is if you're enviornmentally involved as they do cut down on harmful emmissions by about 30 percent.
Don't waste your money; wait until the Lithium powered cars are mass produced. There are companys making them right now. A good example is the thes cars and motorcycles are being made by Hybrid Technologies (HYBT.OB). Hydrogen powered vehicles are also "just around the corner".
Just wait and you will be able to have transportation that requires no gasoline and only either a very short charging cycle or almost free hydrogen.
DON'T FALL FOR THE FALSE ADVERTISING by the auto manufacturers...
