Who has a Hybrid Thread

We just got our first hybrid an 07 Honda Civic

We are getting about 41 mpg combined right now. A far cry from the mpg on the sticker but good none the less.

Who else has one out there?

Fred, I got 40 miles per gallon highway in my 2001 Honda Civic.

Really? This is combined driving and heavy in the city. When we have been exclusive highway driving at 55-60 we are seeing 51-52 on flat roads

That was highway driving, like from ABQ to Shreveport, LA, or to Colorado Springs.

I might add that I have a heavy foot and that figure is probably rounded up a bit, but I've definitely seen better than 39.

City driving was 34 or better.

Heres a photo of my "hybrid". It gets 15 on the highway, less in town.

Well, I have two hybrids. I haven't "driven" them, yet, but I used one today to get my self out of the rough.

Who has a Hybrid Thread

I do. I have a hybrid thread. (actually several different colors )I have seen and used it many times, for things like replacing missing buttons. And once I had an old pair of comfortable jeans that had developed holes in the knees. I used the hybrid variety of thread 50% cotton/50% Polyester, to sew a patch onto both knees. And even though the jeans were not new by any means, in fact they were several yesrs old, but very comfortably fitting - so I didn't want to throw them away just yet.

I even have some high quality BTS thread:



Oh, darn. I just saw the context of the opening post. This is about hybrid cars, not hybrid thread.

If thats the case, than no - don't have one. But looking to own an electric car some time in the future, when the tesla comes down in price.

all I can think about is the Smugness Alert episode of South Park


where everyone starts becoming so smug, cuz they have a hybrid.

"hi i drive a hybrid to save the enviroment k thanks bye"

as they pass ppl

infact


they become so smug they sniff their own farts.

and a Super Smugness Cloud envelopes southpark

it was great.

I just bought a Prius last week, I averaged 51 mpg for the first 500+ miles.

And I smell my own farts.
