Can't imagine how you guys are doing it where you have to drive that many miles to work, Illinois and Daihashi. I can't imagine what it would feel like to pay that and then have to endure California traffic, either, and let that much gas go toward nothing more than idling.

I'm going to start riding my bicycle to the office. I already hoof it between office and hospital, which is about a half block. We're looking into getting a hybrid right now because Bird has to cover some territory to get to school. What I really want is an all-electric or all hydrogen cell pickup truck.

There is supposed to be on-going testing in Japan of a hybrid Tundra. Its supposed to have more power than an F-350 diesel, and gets close to 50mpg on regular gas. I understand that there are a dozen of them that are being tested. I have only heard this once... if its true, then they are keeping it close to the vest so they don't get up-staged by the competition
