Hybrid Owners Pumped Up Over Fuel Savings Drivers of gas-electric vehicles gather for the first time in Madison, WI 7/22/2006 Thomas Content, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=475514 Excerpt: Imagine a Harley owners reunion, only much quieter. Instead of the potato-potato-potato roar, the silence of hybrid electric battery and gasoline-powered Toyota Priuses and Honda Insights greeted visitors Saturday to Hybridfest, at the Alliant Energy Center at the Dane County Fair. The first-ever event is believed by organizers to be the largest gathering of hybrids in one place. More than 100 hybrids were on hand, including all 10 models currently or soon to be on sale at U.S. dealerships.
"Hybrids are selling so well that Smart Motors has up to 200 people on waiting lists for Priuses and the new hybrid Camry, set to debut this fall." eh?
