Re: EVLN(TMC HEV Prius Challenged by BAT)



BAT International: The green
: car that "set Detroit on its ear", the Toyota hybrid vehicle the
: "Prius", will be running head to head against BAT International's
: Supercar to compare fuel efficiency and performance. BAT International
: previously achieved 92.5 and 94 mpg in two separate events at
: California Speedway in Fontana in January and February, 1998 

Who the hell runs a diesel against a gas engine and calls it "head to
head"? Definitely not apples-to-apples! What can BAT do with a gas engine,
or, conversely, a Prius with diesel power? What other performance tests
will they do...acceleration from stop or 40 to 60mph?
