Hybrids Stealing Car Buyers Hearts

Hybrids are all the rage. People are in love with them, and with good reason, mileage.

Mercury News: "Greg King, a systems engineer at Northrop Grumman in Sunnyvale, obsesses over the gasoline mileage he can eke out of his blue Honda Insight, which he bought in 2001.

Driving down to Stockton from Kirkwood Mountain Resort near Lake Tahoe, he managed to get 112 miles per gallon -- nearly double what the two-seater officially achieves. And he once drove to Los Angeles and back on a single tank of gas.

That's just an ordinary trip to Brian Freeman, who claims his 2000 Insight once got 1,098 miles on a single tank of gas. ``I have one of the three highest mpg Insights in the country and hold the record for the most 1,000-mile tanks of gas,'' said Freeman, a former Saratoga resident who now lives in Chicago."
