Careful. Automobile manufacturers are playing fast and loose with terminology. Some domestic brands have been marketed with words such as hybrid, when the actual technology was nothing more than a simple switching mechanism that shut the engine off at a stand-still and started it again when the driver stepped on the accelerator -- such as at a traffic-light. Or shut off some of the cylinders while cruising at a light load and coasting. (Both tricks would yield a slight fuel saving -- while putting gently around with a light load.) I'm no longer keeping up in this field, but I can say that any advanced-technology-vehicle must be researched VERY carefully as to its true merits.stinkyfoot wrote:I hear Ford makes some kind of F250 with a hybrid engine. That's burney as fuck. (Not because of the environment but because it makes long distance driving with a carful of crap way cheaper.)
I want one of those!Turtleburp wrote:http://www.topspeed.com/cars/paramount- ... 11864.html
