Heh. Not sure, really. But I doubt it. This John Muir is most remembered for founding the Sierra Club - he was born in 1838. Since the "Idiot Book" was published in '69, he would've had to have been 89 years old at the date of publication.

Here's a bio, FYI.

...that are on the road now.

The Honda Insight is a 70 mpg gas/electric hybrid that has won the Sierra Club's Excellence in Environmental Engineering Award. Base model MSRP is $18,880. You can read Carpoint's review of the Insight here.

The Toyota Prius is a 66 mpg gas/electric hybrid that has received the United Nations Environmental Protection Award. It has been available in Japan for about two years now, and is scheduled to be released in the US sometime this year. Toyota's site doesn't currently list the MSRP, but it sold in Japan for about $16,500 USD. There is a review of the Prius at TopGear.

ugh. Try the Sierra Club instead. Spend your money protecting the environment instead of harassing nuclear submarines.
