While this is very old news to Prius Chatters, I view this as very good since it is getting exposure at a place like MSNBC The dirty secret about clean cars Thanks to this site
My only objection is the title. These are NOT clean cars. They're FFVs. It should have read "The dirty secret about Flex-fuel Vehicles".
I believe the Model-T got 25 mpg. The Prius and other hybrids are disruptive technology. http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/aer/txt/ptb0208.html
