6/10    Disel Hybrid
        http://csua.org/u/ivy
        I don't understand this entire bio-disel thing.  Why American car
        maker has to "choose" between "hybrid" versu "bi-disel." when these two
        things can easily combined together.
        \_ Anyone know what happened to the eCycle?  It was a diesel-hybrid
           motorcycle that claimed to get 180 mpg.  -scottyg
        \_ Because the market here is not as mature as that in Europe.
           Similarly, Toyota has been selling hybrid minivans in Japan for
           years, yet the Sienna here won't get a hybrid outfit until 2009 or
           later.

7/20    Do people not know that the only place where there is no speed
        limit is on a freeway onramp?  Which means that it is the entrant
        driver's job to speed up and get in past the existing traffic?
        \_ The ones who can't accelerate are in SUVs
           \_ True.  My 2nd-gen Prius (not the 2010) accelerates on the
              on-ramps fine.  -- !OP

5/31    I was talking to a harpist who asked me if there were any pieces
        that she shouldn't play at my wedding. I said... no, why would
        there be restriction? She told me there may be religious reasons
        or pieces that may touch some nerves. For example, she played
        for Jewish weddings and a few times she's been asked to not play
        Wagner's Wedding march. I find it interesting that 50 years after

        \_ I haven't done that but I've done sound proof of my Prius and
           it works quite well. The secret was putting in thick sound

Sitemap From The Sunday Times June 10, 2007 Peugeot revs up for diesel hybrid Ray Hutton PEUGEOT plans to be the first manufacturer to offer a small family car with a diesel-electric hybrid power unit. It will be a version of the new 308, revealed last week, and will be on sale before the end of the decade. EU carmakers have watched the success of petrol-electric hybrids from Toyota and Honda but claim their diesel-engined cars deliver better fuel consumption and produce less carbon dioxide. But diesel cars are unpopular in some countries, notably America. In Britain, hybrids qualify as alternative-fuel vehicles for low car tax and exemption from the London congestion charge, while diesels do not. Peugeot does not sell in America, but sees an increasing trend for hybrids in Europe and elsewhere. Toyota sold more than 22,000 Prius cars in Europe last year, 5,000 of them in the UK. The Prius combines a 15litre petrol engine with an electric motor. Its batteries are kept charged by the combustion engine and by capturing the energy generated by braking; unlike a pure electric car, the Prius never needs to be plugged into the mains. The Peugeot diesel hybrid promises to average better than 70mpg and have the lowest car-bon-dioxide emissions of any car other than a pure electric. Peugeot boss Frdric St Geours last week declined to give a price for the 308 diesel hybrid, saying "all the work going on now is to reduce the cost".
