OK, I feel like I'm losing my mind here. When I did my research to purchase my 2005 FEH, I found that there was a $2000 federal deduction, a NYS sales tax...

Thanks Hal, I'll try to watch for it. The game seems to be starting a lot earlier at 11.30 Pacific. ThInk it was after 3 last year. One of my biggest...
There's some pretty uninformed and misleading info in that article, as well as some statistics that make no sense since there's no distinction made between ICE...

My take on it is this: In a conventional vehicle, the energy is converted to heat via the brakes. In this one, the energy is recovered and stored in a battery...
A mighty poor point IMHO. A person needs transportation. When they apply the brakes to waste the excess energy that they have, wherever it came from gasoline...

Thanks a lot. It would really be nice to get this straight, and I am bewildered. The workshop manual (the copy I've seen) is explicit in saying that the ICE...
