Enviromental concerns?

Interesting little article. I am in no hurry to buy a hybrid. My bike gets over 50mpg and does 0-60 in 3 seconds

I've got the Civic Hybrid and the biggest mistake people make is that they think that a hybrid car will make up for their driving style. If one get's into a car and is heavy on the gas and brakes, I doesn't matter what kind of car you're driving, you will get lousy gas mileage. It's all about being smooth when it comes to accelerating and stopping, the fact that the car does not sit and idle is also a help. Granted the EPA estimates are done on a "conveyer belt" at an average speed, I can honestly say that I am getting a respectable 40 mpg in the city. On the highway I average between 45 to 55 mpg.

No doubt its long
but brilliant, awesome article
