That said, I do wish all the manufacturers would be more proactive in educating the consumer about energy use.

Frank, your sudden philosophizing is giving me a headache.
And I meant the existing line-up would be converted straight-away to full hybrid, with electric-only options. No hybrid ICE's with over 35 peak HP output, lots of diesel options, and not one thing under 30mpg city or highway EPA.
And of course, since I already had an axe to grind with Detroit over the performance of their recent vehicles, nothing with less than the equivalent of 10lbs per HP. 3,000+ lbs cars with 110hp engines? Bite me, Detroit.
Ok, I'm done ranting now.
