when that 7-10K battery takes a hike, you may want to scrap it

although of the hybrids, the toyota is the best (for what THATS worth)...

to me, it would make more sense to have a diesel/hybrid...

my wife has a scion xa that'll get 35 mpg without trying and i have got as high as 49 running in the hills
