Do you have a source for this claim? Ford and Lexus both are making hybrid SUV's already, with more in the works. I haven't seen "the oil companies" say anything about it.

Is it really political to just mention "congress"?

Politics is politics. She knows better! Republican Congress and Democrat Congress? Politics.

Read my entire reply. I saw it on a documentary and will search for it this morning. I never said the oil companies said anything.

I disbelieve until I see a source. The very existence of hybrid vehicles undermines your claim. ;)

And everything you stated about preventative maintenance and your throwing out numbers did not do a thing for you either. You are targeting me because you got proved wrong? I dunno. :lol:

Ummm, you haven't proved me wrong. ;)

I provide sources to back up my claims. So far I haven't seen one for yours.
