“Who’s producing them? Only Toyota”, I said. “Who’s buying them? A tiny handful. They cost around thirty-six grand. It’ll take years just to gear up all the major manufacturers to put hybrids into volume production. Until that time the companies producing cheap, standard, petrol cars have all the advantage. Even when hybrids become reasonably affordable, say in about 2010, it’ll take another ten years, minimum, to replace the existing car fleet. And by 2015, fuel supplies will have been in decline for at least five years … at the rate of at least 2 per cent a year.” They do not cost thirty grand... Prius that is. About $ 24.500 I am getting 450 mpg with air conditioning on and a lot of steep hills. No difference in pick up.Zooms right up big hills. Corners great and is a pleasure to drive... My second car is a Subaru for hauling. It only gets 30mpg... and that's on the open road trip at 70 mph.... I would hope hybrids are here to stay and that the price comes down. The Ford Escape is more $.. The Lexus forget and Toyota has the Highlander Now as a hybrid... Honda's are more expensive.. that is why I went with the Toyota car. ML
