Hybrid interest article

[quote Racer X]
However, the standard automotive gasoline drive train usually gets only about 35% of the total available energy out of that gallon of gas, and puts it to the road.
Dream on! If you do a little research you'll find that a gasolline drive train only extracts about 15% of the energy out of gasoline. The rest is heat. This is why it is dirt cheap to run an electric car....much higher efficiencies in generating electricity at central plants.
