There are apparently already protocols in place for cutting hybrid cars to bits with the jaws of life and that really cool big radial saw ...
Originally I'd heard the hybrids were quite dangerous to EMTs, but more recent information seems to indicate that's not entirely the case. If I hear anything further (the EMT who is a firefighter should be in work tomorrow) I'll let you guys know.
I have a car that gets around 18/gallon. While I admit that I seriously miss my 32 MPG sportscar, I am still only filling up two or three times per month. Put it on the gas co. card, throw money at it once a month ... minor, not major impact at this point.
