		<title>The Dangers of Texting While Driving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Dangers of Texting While Driving
This week, the state of New York joined 17 other states in signing a law that bans texting while driving for all drivers. As the crash and death rates continue to climb, and the evidence keeps mounting as to why it is necessary, there is a good chance that all [...]]]></description>

		<title>2009 Honda CR-V Hybrid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Honda hasn&#8217;t yet announced such a vehicle, but they should.&#160; Rather than wait for Honda to make the announcement, I&#8217;ve decided to give my take on what the 09 CR-V Hybrid should be all about.&#160; The opportunity is huge, and the potential ridiculous.&#160; Read on to get the specs.

		<title>2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid Gets EPA Ratings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ As, of course, does it&#8217;s twin the Tahoe Hybrid.  Despite my skepticism, the EPA ratings proved quite good for a vehicle of this size &#8211; 21 MPG city / 22 MPG highway.  Pay close attention to that city number &#8211; 21 MPG matches the EPA estimates for cars such as the Honda [...]]]></description>

		<title>2008 Honda CR-V Hybrid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ This isn&#8217;t a post about the latest hybrid from Honda &#8211; rather, it&#8217;s about a hybrid that isn&#8217;t, but should be.  One of the supposed benefits of Honda&#8217;s IMA hybrid system is the adaptability.  Supposedly, the IMA system is easily adaptable to different vehicles, and it costs less to outfit these vehicles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recently announced 2006-2007 Honda Civic Sedan recall does include hybrids, by the looks of things.  If you&#8217;re a proud owner of an HCH-II, then you might want to keep any eye on your mailbox for a notice from Honda.

		<title>Just 350 Mazda Tribute Hybrids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was happy to see the announcement for the 2008 Mazda Tribute Hybrid, though now I&#8217;m not so much.&#160; It seems that the supply problem I was concerned with is a reality &#8211; there will only be 350 Mazda Tribute Hybrids available at launch, and every one will be sold in California.&#160; The other 49 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Specialized Hybrids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A reader wrote to me the other day with an interesting dilemma.  Here&#8217;s the email I received :
Hi:  I have attempted to contact Toyota regarding making our vehicle more
efficient.  The car is much too powerful.  My suggestion is being able to use

		<title>62.9 MPG &#8211; A new record</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Just yesterday I set a record for my trip to work, with 61.3 MPG.  This morning I nudged the bar higher, and achieved an impressive 62.9 MPG &#8211; my highest yet for my 7 mile trip to work in the morning.  To those who say hybrids aren&#8217;t capable of hitting the 2007 EPA estimates, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Toyota Tax Credits Nearly at an End</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The tax credits available on Toyota and Lexus hybrids will expire completely on September 30, 2007.&#160; Currently they are at just 25% of their original value &#8211; a testament to their popularity.&#160; Or rather, to the Prius&#8217; popularity.&#160; 
Even though the tax credits are diminished, they are worth taking into account.&#160; Currently the Prius offers [...]]]></description>
