I'm no pro on the matter, but of of the guys on that forum are pros, and they TRULY are fired up about it, lol.

I just thought I'd post this, perhaps to clear up some confusion that I've seen over the past few days. Feel free to flame me - I don't care one way or the other. I just like to have facts to back things up.

I think if you do the math, you would have to own the car for ten years before you saw your savings....
Car's price tag (compared to a similar gas honda) minus amount of gas you save....equals....

I'm not really passionate about the subject but it looks like a really unique car. Congrads.
