It maintains speed just fine... I just sit there with cruise control on and I don't notice anything. Best RPMs for acceleration for the Civic is around 3000, the Prius 4000. In other words, you're fine on the highway.
One of the honda salesman says he sold a bunch of Civics to a business for a commuting fleet, the highway performance was the sell over the Prius. Take what you will from that statement from a salesman, but it seems to be true.
I just love the F-150, I don't really need it.. I want it. As a male in his 20s, I feel the need for large 4x4 power.
But as someone who wants to help stop pollution, stop wasting gasoline, and such... I had to trade in my F-150 lightning for the hybrid. An alternative fuel F-150 would probably still be pretty wasteful, but hey... if it was clean / cheap waste, I'd be up for it!
I think if I lived in a pretty much completely flat area, the MPG would be closer to 50. The need for lots of uphill acceleration drops the MPG pretty quick.
Ok, it's true... I saw the headline and scanned the links noting the feasibility of fuel cells as a technology.
Creating a gas/fuel cell hybrid if you will. But most of my original comment still remains: unless I can buy it at a dealer, I probably won't void my warrant by "modding" it.
In a geeky slashdot way, I can see the allure in modding up an engine with fuel cells. In a practical way, if you want better gas mileage, you're better off with the hybrid. Or maybe just a normal "lite" car.. ditch the SUV.
I have driven the Toytoa Prius... I thought it had worse pickup than the Civic Hybrid. I actually test drove the Prius twice. Bottom line: Prius feels like a go cart, Civic feels like a normal sedan.
What constitutes a need for it? How about a war on multiple fronts, like with North Korea and Saddam at the same time? What if the so-called Axis of evil wants to divide our forces and conquer... I'm sure the nukes would fly before then, but hey.. maybe we'll avoid world destruction yet!

While even the native americans had some conflicts, they were nothing like have been in the past couple hundred years. In fact, some of the native american "wars" were more like games, not intended to kill your opponent at all.
Maybe a better statement is that middle-east based culture (those that spawend from Mesopatamia) are heavily war like and can't keep the peace.
Forget the various cultures, let's just examine the state of people:
If most people claim to be good Christians/Jews/Muslims/Buddhists, why is there still violence? What person that serious believes in the teachings of Jesus wants to melt/murder/kill people in war? Maybe people are just sheep, and the media doesn't give the Pope or any serious religious figure any time to speak out and tell us to learn to live in peace.
Yeah, the excellent media machine was working hard to sell another war to us. Peace was viewed as something for hippies. If people really knew what war was like, they might have a different view.
My grandfather recently died, he had skin cancer on the face from flying in old bombers and sitting in the sun w/o skin protection. I wonder what sort of lack of protection we'll see this go around!
I did some research and ended up chosing a Honda hybrid. There just wasn't enough of an availability to the consumer to drive something based on hydrogen. At least not yet.
My civic hybrid gets 45-47 MPG, is quiet as hell, and was fairly cheap. GM and Ford both have alternative fuel vehicle programs, but until I can go down to the local dealer and drive home with a hydrogen F-150, I'll be in a hybrid.

Well let's be honest.. what do you REALLY think a "rebuilding" will look like. With most of the nation already poor (not much running water, electricity, education, or even food), do you think we'll rebuild those aspects of society first...
Or, do you think the big wig oil companies will move in and secure the oil fields and refineries.
Will we put in another quality leader, like we did Castro?

Oh yes, I'm sure the japanese were happy that we melted so many people just so they could get our help in being a huge economic power.
How much money does it take to equal one life? Would you kill 1 innocent of another country to out do the US in a given market? How about 10 innocents? hundreds, thousands?
More ironic how because of that redirect, the majority of the comments on this article will be people trolling for karma by posting the article text?;)
Doing system testing, one of the most common mis-reported bugs is due to "pilot error", whether that be a misconfigured server, improper use of the application, a missing configuration parameter, etc.
Why do these result? Because people often do not read the documentation (setup instructions, release letters, etc).... OR because things like a README were not included!

I wish I could, but I think the company says it's "stealing" to take computers from the garbage.
I believe it was 150,000. That's what I heard at a Ramsey Clark speech.
Let's face it, we need superman for that one.
You would think with every gort strapped to their TV for the night, they would at least give the people what they want: some big explosions on camera.
Maybe it's not time to see the exploding people.. yet.
Recycling and hydrogen fuel enhancements to follow the Iraq news.
Seriously, this is a nice item. I see so many computers go into the dumpster at work, especially when changing offices.

Alright, so with war on the brain, almost none of us have gotten the point of this article. Someday, god willing, we shall rtfa :)
True that brother, there were other things I didn't like about the Prius...
Why oh why do they have the shifter next to the steering wheel blocking site to the center console?
Speedometer is right underneath the windshield in the middle. Weird.
