Wow, very good comments.
As of right now, the increase in fuel has not affected my latte habit However, with the dollar sinking; China / India's demand increasing; and our politicians loafing on the job and being slaves to the EPA; I really think that the average cost of fuel is going to explode over the next few years. Note: I am not an economist, but I do read the journal..LOL.
I did some more reading about the 08 Jetta yesterday and called a local dealer. They said to expect them in my area around April / May. Looking forward to checking them out. If I get one of those; I'll have to acquire a Series Project from my friends out east...the ECP.
In reference to the Hybrid vs. the Diesel...when the Hybrid is scrapped; can the batteries be recycled or are they sent to a hazmat type landfill? I understand that batteries are used in almost everything; but these hybrid batteries are large and quantify that with the 10s of thousands of Hybrids sold, that is an impact....
