HMMMM hydraulic hybrid f150

Non-electric Ford F-150 hydraulic hybrid could get 40 mpg

Lets see where this one goes, versus the 60 MPG claim for the "Tonka" version a few years back. I am skeptical since the EPA design uses a pump running at prop shaft speed where higher speed efficiency drops off fairly dramatically. In wheel drives resolve that issue.
