    And after 3 months of excercising 5 days a week at 40-60 minutes there is still that extra 20-30lbs that makes the workout hurt and continue the antimotivational problem. Yes, some people don't workout and won't and will use this as an excuse and some of us are battling some extra weight and would kill to be able to run 3-5 miles without pain.

    SO WHAT??

    which is better for my wallet, the $10k small sedan or the $20K hybrid small sedan.

    Answer: if the hybrid makes good on its claims of 2-3x mpg, over the 10 years I own it it will pay for the extra cost, But it looks like it won't make good on those claims, and sorry, but eating is more important to me than the environment. esp since the emissions differences are almost negligible.

    You know what, thats great if all other factors are equal, but for the guy on the street(me) who is thinking about a new car I don't care, all I care about is miles per maintenance,and MPG. before and after the fact environmental factors are great, and if the TCO is the same, a nice warm fuzzy is just that, nice, but if I pay ~2x more for a car that requires more(expensive) maintenance, and provides the same MPG numbers its not worth it in my pocketbook, esp as fuel prices keep rising.

    Ok, thanks. I'll agree, and IMO, careful planning and constructive wilderness prevents the looniness.

    for comparison, I am aware of sufficiently wild areas within an hour of central NY city and Central San Antonio(TX)

    Sufficiently wild meaning nothing but trees or wilderness as far as the eye can see and no people and no trace except for the occasional blaze mark on the relatively unbeaten trail.

  25. Re:Get an SUV on Hybrid Cars Don't Live Up to Mileage Claims · · Score: 1

    Another poster recently pointed out that there are really two groups of "SUVs" the ones that have been around FOREVER(Suburban, Various Jeep models, the landrover/landcruiser type vehicles) and the new Junk. And pointed out that in the rush to field something "SUVlike" that safety tended to be compromised as there wasn't a lessons learned history.

    I think we will see safer SUVs when the EPA decides that SUVs need to be emmission and safety tested by the same standards as cars, station wagons and vans instead of being classified as "small trucks"

    Nevertheless, there are still safer and less safe SUVs out there, choose wisely.
