First Family Member Goes Hybrid





My brother Charles came by yesterday to show me his new Toyoto Hybrid. He drove 49.9 miles on his first gallon of gas and claims that in-town driving gets around 60 MPG. The car automatically switches from gasoline to electric when in the idle mode so when stopped at traffic lights or in busy traffic, you are not using gas.

It's a pretty cute design and I'm sure sooner or later we will all be driving cars that do not use gasoline at all - just a matter of time.
