- 2010 Lexus HS250h
- Photo gallery:2010 Lexus HS250hWhen we were introduced to Lexus' new hybrid, we were assured that the HS250h was more than just a Toyota Prius with premium price tag.

- Liquids from methane could be better than mere gas(oline)
- methanol from methane?Technical nonsense. Methanol is a partially burned methane, using a catalyst doesn't change that.This is only feasable if the energy liberated by the partial burning of methane to methanol is captured and used.Fuel mileage of methanol is much lower than gasoline.Straight methane as an internal combustion engine...

- 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid
- Photo gallery:2010 Ford Fusion HybridThe problem with some hybrid cars is that they're often more hybrid than they are car. The 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid doesn't have that problem.

- 2009 Volkswagen Touareg TDI
- Photo gallery:Volkswagen Touareg TDIWe've seen dramatically good mileage in diesel cars, such as the BMW 335d and the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, but the 2009 Volkswagen Touareg TDI doesn't meet the possibly unrealistic expectations given to us by these other cars.

- Will more expensive gasoline be the salvation of General Motors?
- It would HAVE to hit $20 a gallonbefore the current price of the Volt makes economic sense. But if they can shave that price down by $12k or so then it would make sense now. I'm personally routing for the latter to happen instead.At $20 a gallon the economy would...
