USA Today on Hybrid Cars (Including This Blog)

This weekend's edition of USA Today includes a story on hybrid cars which features this author and this blog. What's great about the story is that it suggests that auto OEMs are starting to step up to the plate in educating buyers about how to optimize performance and mileage from Hybrid cars. To wit:

...last weekend, Ford engineers spent two days teaching 300 well-educated, well-connected technology lovers everything they can do to maximize the mileage on their gas-electric hybrid versions of the Escape SUV.

Hybrid Mileage Education?

Autoblog reports that hybrid car manufacturers are taking strides to better educate consumers around optimizing mileage. This is a very encouraging development. Kudos to those stepping up to the plate!
