Subject: Re: Monday Chat 04.28.08 by DaleD on 2008/4/28 14:24:47 Hybrids are crap. A Mercedes 520d and Prius ran the same 500 mile course into Switzerland. Result: 520d - 50mpg, Prius - 48 mpg. An efficient gasoline car will do you better in the long run. It may not get the mileage of a hybrid, but in 8-10 years, the gasoline car has residual value, and what of the hybrid? Would you buy an 8 year old car that needs a new $8000 battery pack? Forget hybrids, think diesel. |
