ford developing hybrid 300% more efficient than toyota

It's a matter of degree. It's not practical to walk or bike everywhere and bus service here absolutely sucks, so I still need personal motorized transportation. However, I don't need a gas-guzzling V8 and low-teens quarter-miles and I make my choices appropriately, rather than simply ignoring the problem.

I can't solve all the world's problems by myself but I don't have to give my wants, vanities and insecurities free reign to make them worse.
