Re: {SPAM?} Home made Hybrid

That's the biggest drawback -- cost of conversion. If it's a car you plan on driving for five years, you can easily break even. That's the clincher -- break even, not save. Of course with gas prices what they are that might be reduced to four years, possibly even three to three and a half if the price keeps going up as it was before the storms. I figure gas is about where it would have been had there been no storms now -- not any higher. It's $2.719 here in Dover, so I'm assuming about a $2.75 low average for the country. I expect next summer to start at $3.00 a gallon average and rise $0.75-$1.25 ($3.50-$4.00) by the end of the summer of 2006, and $5 a gallon by the end of summer 2007. If US car makers don't get off their asses and do something, they are going to be in big trouble by 2007. They rely way to much on big pickup and SUV sales now.
