{smug}Yes, the F-150’s provide a surprisingly large amount of pollution. 12.3 tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year, vs. the FEH’s 5.5 tons.{/smug}

We’ll get you a hybrid next, if you’re still interested in them whenever you’re ready to part with your black beauty.

P.S. You owe me the latest mileage data on the F-150 so we can start tracking it on GreenHybrid.com’s non-hybrid database.

15.24 MPG, the latest tank in my 2001 F-150 Screw 4×4! Up from 13 MPG before I learned to coast, air up my tires till they almost burst and set the sucker on cruise control for 65 miles per hour on the highway (in the right lane of course).

Now if I remove the seats, center console, some of those hoses in the engine compartment (they couldn’t ALL be THAT critical) and remove the bed….I might just get 17!!

(I know, I’m destroying the environment…)

But isn’t it fun for that mile? *does happy dance*

One such LED license plate frame: Programmable LED Car Plate Billboard (Red LED)

Discussion thread related to the potential hybrid applications of said frame (among other things; relevant posts are on pages 3 & 4 of that thread.)

For my hybrid, I spent my $$ on custom hard chrome license plate frames which I still need to post a photo of here. I wouldn’t have spent that kind of cash on an LCD frame, in part because of theft potential, whereas the obscurity of what I had engraved on my custom chrome frames limits the likelihood that they’ll be stolen.

I think someone (maybe me) should invent a device for hybrid drivers that interfaces with the trip computer to publish the current MPG/ all time MPG / average MPG on some display attached to the hybrid vehicle.

Now living in San Francisco with the vertible horde of Hybrid verhicles all around me, I think I would like to know what the Prius going 50 mph in the middle lane is getting compared to the civic hybrid in the (thats diamond or HOV) lane that just zoomed past me at 90 mph.

it would be like a LCD or LED display in the rear view or maybe the rear quarterpanel window.

What do you think?
