but people, don't talk to me about "combined" mpg. My wife does exclusively city driving. Exclusively. I have seen her average 12 mpg on an entire tank of gas. I think on one of her typical drives, she is idling more than she is moving. We are not about to buy another car right now (have to pay off the 9-5 first, and then I get to pick the next car for myself hee hee hee), but you cannot disagree that for certain uses, a hybrid powertrain makes sense. I am thinking about taxi cabs in dense urban centers, for example.
You all have an open invitation to email me the next time you are in Philadelphia. I'll take you for a spin around our streets. You think Manhattan traffic is bad? Well, it is, of course (I used to live there), but at least the lights are timed on the avenues ;)
