| Category: Cars There's an interesting article over at Reason.org about the so-called dust-to-dust costs of owning a hybrid versus a normal petrol vehicle. Guess which wins! ALSO, at the Weekly Standard the following claims are made for hybrid fuel consumption claims: For example, a 2004 Toyota Prius got 35 miles per gallon in city driving, off 42 percent from its EPA rating of 60 mpg. The 2003 Honda Civic averaged 26 mpg, off 46 percent from its advertised 48 mpg. And the Ford Escape small sport utility vehicle managed 22 mpg, falling 33 percent short of its 33 mpg rating. |
