if it were true and has made it to the news. then all the major companies would snatch that up in a heartbeat. they would pay for the rightsand have that product shelved.

It's called a plug-in hybrid conversion. It does get 100mpg, but only for the first like 50 miles, which is more than the average person drives in a day anyways, so ya.

More info on that here, kits are $3k-10k...

I don't have time to look at the site but the last time I looked (actual prices) it cost over $10,000. It isn't just the Pruis you can modify, pretty much all hybrids. The Prius and the insight are more common as the gains are the largest.


I was planning on getting rid of the insight when the volt/electric cars came out but I don't care for the Volt. Only 40 miles on a charge wouldn't help my 100 + mile round trip to work. I will probably wait for Honda or Toyota to make the first move. I heard that they will have a plug in prius out in 2009 which will get 100 mpg. Most likely they are just modifying the current setup.
