Monrovia-based Energy CS has converted two Priuses to get up to 230 mpg by using powerful lithium ion batteries. It is forming a new company, EDrive Systems, that will convert hybrids to plug-ins for about $12,000 starting next year, company vice president Greg Hanssen said.

great article: http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/29/Auto...sels/index.htm

this article explains why a hybrid vehicle is great for around town driving but a regular diesel is better (more economical) for long highway driving, retains its value and lasts longer than a gas vehicle.

so the ultimate combination for the future,,,for a two car family will be to own one diesel vehicle and one hybrid... and that is now my plan.

we own a 2001 VW TDI diesel.. its our family car. i can drive from RI to ohio on 10 gallons. it rocks on the highway and yes, around town it gets average mpg...

my daily driver is a 1971 super beetle... 33 MPG (when its running )
