Gordon 'kiss my ' Brown has just been going on that we must push forward with hybrid cars! This is the same prat that said we should push forward with biofuels.....and destroy the raiinforests.....peat bogs.....etc...to do so

Hybrids.....matey....if you read the reviews on them, read the science mags, even do something as simple as watch Top Gear, you will see that NORMAL diesel engines outperform them.

A hybrid is only any use if you are doing around 20mph or less stop starting. If I was to buy one, then I'd get zero benefit, as my average speed is 50mph, with very little stopping (unless a sheep jumps out!!).

Top Gear done a test, and the hybrid lost against the normal car by a distance.
