Gas/Electric Hybrids, Air Cars in the News

Posted by michael on Friday September 20, 2002 @07:02PM from the i'd-buy-a-civic-hybrid-if-the-price-came-down dept.

hackshack writes "eCycle is developing a hybrid diesel / electric motorcycle designed to get 180 miles per gallon. The small diesel engine kicks in at speeds over 12mph, and the electric motor handles acceleration. Target retail price is $5,500. They've got a beta test program going as well. Now I can laugh at all those "gas-guzzling" Insight drivers as I zoom by!" Reader clen writes in about the Toyota Prius doing well in a road rally, and fishdan sent in a note about a pure-electric concept car called the Tango. And the air-powered car is getting a little more media attention, too.

So quit trying to make GM out to be the bad guy.

After that little "think with your pocket, the health of others be damned" rant, you make yourself out to be an ideal alternative target...
