Why the Fleet Wide Average of Plug In Hybrids Is Only 50 mpg

[Bret Cahill]

Maybe the bay area EE who designed the thing can remember to plug in
every night but that's not going to be true for the typical valley
girl motorist.

Another argument for slotting the freeways: They're gonna get charged
up whether they know or care about it or not.

MPD is the only metric that counts. That is miles per dollar considering all aspects of
the vehicle ownership.

You are wasting your time, Wes. Cahill is a 'blue sky' troll.

Not quite! Short term metric only. If you factor in that in short
order the area you live in will be so polluted that your family will
be or is sick, has to move thus causing more urban sprawl and loss of
oxygen producing plant life .................
I'm looking at my grand-kids and wondering how and what kind of dirty
world they will have to live in and what kind of problems and costs
they will have to face. Every time I try to recycle litres of used
engine oil, without causing yet more pollution!
Maybe we humans will be smart enough??????
