Hybrid Element??

There would not be a better car to have a hybrid in! But i would prefer if they put a new rail diesel in the element!

I spotted an orange Honda "Element" sporting a different model name and a "hybrid" label in an industrial parking lot in Santa Clara, CA about 6-8 weeks ago (June or July). Forgot that my phone had a camera or I'd post a picture, but it looked just like an Element.

Also, consider that the 7mpg improvement (mentioned above) translates to a larger gas savings in a vehicle in this class than it does in a vehicle that already gets better mileage. Example: a 7mpg improvement to a 25mpg vehicle will save about 1 gal per 100 miles. In comparison, it will require a 17 mpg improvement to a 33mpg vehicle and a 50 mpg improvement to vehicle already getting 50 mpg to save as much. Viewed this way, if you really need this large a car a 7mpg improvement is good.
