Me and MY Viajes

Ever since I saw the commercial w/ the guy making fun of hybrids, saying they get passed by mopeds, I'd been meaning to post a response but kept forgetting to check how many cylinders my car has inorder to support my arguement. Well it has four-not a beast but I think pretty comparable to most cars (not mopeds) on the road. Since seeing this commercial I have heard claims that the electric battery gives my car even more power then the average 4 cylinder. I have not done research to verify-cause I don't care how fast my car can pass you-especially since I can see exactly-or as exact as Japanese technology can get- how much gas I am consuming inorder to accelerate from 0-50 in 5 seconds at the light. If you see me going 55 on the highway-at one of those rare times when I am ahead of schedule-it is not because my car doesn't have the power to go faster, it is merely for the extra 5-7 miles a gallon extra I will get if I accelerate at my own moderate pace. Even when you are getting over 45 miles per gallon, having the gasometer visible makes you greedy for every little 1/8 of a tank. Every car should have a gauge next to the other gauges to show how many miles the car is getting per gallon (do they already have this on all cars?).
