One other thing you forgot to add. Unlike most other Hybrids the infrastructure is established and in place for E85 in most states. Unlike Electric cars that require many hours of charging and where do you find hydrogen?

One other thing I keep hearing is about the price blah blah blah...

Artical from U.S. Nwes and World Report.

In the Stanford Social Innovation Review last year, McKinsey consultants Sheila Bonini and Jeremy Oppenheim wrote that a third of U.S. consumers "are ready to buy green products or have already done so." Although market researchers have some idea of the size of the market, exactly what makes someone a "green consumer" is not as apparent. It may seem that all Prius drivers are Democrats and that Republicans are behind the wheels of Hummers, but a new book from Duke University social scientists Scott de Marchi and James T. Hamilton argues that political affiliation has very little to do with consumer decisions. In You Are What You Choose, de Marchi and Hamilton make the case that green consumerism—along with many other consumer habits—is largely determined by basic personality traits, not political beliefs.
