Don't be confused about the difference between a solar-powered car and a gas/electric hybrid.
And don't be confused about the difference between a Geo Metro and a car that you'd actually want to own. (I notice I haven't heard that you're driving a Metro.)
Well, be confused if you like. I don't really care. If it makes people feel better about their $100 fill-ups, they can be as confused as they want . . .
For me, in the real-world, the car gets up to 2X better MPG as the other cars we considered buying, for a similar purchase price, and to date almost zero depreciation and utter reliability.
If its a gimmick, give me more like it.

Gotta go with the MIT guy on this one. Rocket scientists are rarely wrong.
