I Hate Hybrid Cars - But Ghastly Gas Prices Boost Sales

The pilots in the U.S. are the purchase of hybrid vehicles, not because they want to but because they can not afford to drive any other car. With gas prices setting all-time record and toward $ 4 a gallon, consumers are forced to drive a car that is more miles per dollar spent. A hybrid car that is expensive. The truth is that hybrids can get a better mileage of a traditional car, but it's nothing special. First, hybrids cost more. It means a little better mileage than if you keep your hybrid cars, 3 to 5 years can do for the higher cost. It does not seem much, does it? But that is all we have and that's why people are buying the damned. The good news is that improvements are great on the road. AFS Trinity Power Corp. has secured a patent for a new wheel technology, which should be used second-generation flywheel / diesel hybrid trucks and buses. This wheel again in flywheel technology should enable the key functions in fuel cells, both automotive and stationary energy they use and / or micro turbines. The problem is that these devices are devices of constant power output, which means you can not accelerate fast enough for acceptable acceleration and passing. The new widget that can fly right. And "it is a big step forward propulsion engine we have been waiting for? Probably not, but it is an indication that a group of really smart people working on the problem of developing a car that gets a million miles per gallon. .. or something similar. Recently, President Bush signed a federal energy bill that promotes the use of more fuel efficient, low emission vehicles and offers substantial tax concessions. The draft law states that vehicles with high efficiency, or hybrid or diesel, will receive credits on a sliding scale based on efficiency. Let me translate - "credits" they say MONEY! The maximum credit for light vehicles would be about $ 3400. When Uncle Sam starts to distribute cash, two interesting things begin to happen. Number One: Start lobbyist blade in his pocket. Number two lights come on in the garage across the country as inventors are trying to solve the problem. You could say that they are burning the tabs - one of the few fuels that is not necessarily low. Some argue that there is already a system to produce biodiesel from vegetable oils for only 70 cents per gallon. This fuel does not contribute to global warming, has no unpleasant odor and is a global pollutant free. Did you know that years ago, Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine to run on peanut oil? Nutty, huh? Another alternative mentioned from time to time is fuel alcohol, or ethanol. E 'gender corn fermented blend of 85 percent alcohol and 15 percent gasoline and gasoline engine works very well. Oh, it's a minor inconvenience, if you are very explosive and a disadvantage. That could be a Mini Morris, in a spaceship! Yes, I hate hybrids ... Today, I can not wait to see what comes tomorrow.
