Green hot rodders

More on fuel efficiency.

The procedure has been around for a while but it sure starts to seem more like an innovation - Plug-in cars.

Although the hybrid industry with Toyota and Honda in lead has done everything to persuade people it's not about plug-in, people are doing it. By adding extra batteries to their Prius they receive up to 250 MPG. And now the industry starts to listen as well. I think this statement from Toyota very well examples that the real innovators are the users who want the little extra:

"They're like the hot rodders of yesterday who did everything to soup up their cars. It was all about horsepower and bling-bling, lots of chrome and accessories," said Cindy Knight, a Toyota spokeswoman. "Maybe the hot rodders of tomorrow are the people who want to get in there and see what they can do about increasing fuel economy."

So, now you have a choice. Fuel your CNG car with natural gas, or plug in your hybrid. Just add a vending machine and your own garage will offer full 24h service.
