Your Peugot is beasty enough. Especially cause they have a scary lion on them! You guys get the crap taxed out of you for engines larger than 2.0 liters anyway don't you?

Something like that's they pretty much rape anyone who drives a 4x4 as they aren't 'green' enough. My dad wasn't too happy since at the time he had a BMW X5 with a 3 litre. It became so much he had to sell it and get something a little 'greener'. My insurance isn't a lot because of the environmental issues, it's just our insurance companies believe every teenage male wanting car insurance is a boy racer wanting nothing more to put himself and everyone else on the road in serious trouble, so yeah they think we are about 10 times more likely to crash, therefore they charge us a lot more.

Same here man. Rates are bad for guys until they turn 25, and/or get married.

The Prius article is perfect still chained to the pump and no real benefit, and again the car does not work without gas so the oil companies love it. I looked at the Accord H and it was $11,000 more for the Hybrid which got 3 mpg more than the standard, so Im buying experimental model car at a premium with a shorter life span?? Wonder why it did not sell???

All hydrogen is: a 10 year stall which will turn into a 20 year stall, because the oil companies make $6 Billion dollars per day so a 10 year delay is a good thing,. 22 Trillion dollars of good

Put a solar panel on your roof, plug your car in tell the oil companies to go f*ck themselves. $30 per month vs. $200+ for gas, with no pollution , I will get in line to be the first one to say it.
