OK, I drive a 8 year old VW...it gets 50mpg...it is in great running shape and always passes the emissions test...so, why would I recyle a vehicle to get a Hybrid...First, I get incredible mileage so the mileage/emission ratio would be lower...second, why dispose of a good vehicle to buy another that will take huge amounts of energy to produce; the Hybrid has batteries that will some day have to be disposed of and look the problems the small batteries cause...the basis of this question is...aren't we being conned?
