    I see that shit in every make/model. I think Prius is just one of the current haterade flavors. People around here go every speed in every vehicle. Slow Tacos or Teslas and fast Prii and Fiat 500's and vise versa. People drive cars, cars dont drive people(yet).
    For the time being I agree since it will be awhile yet before the energy density gap closes but change being inevitable I see no reason to get hung up on what is used to make it go. Seems to me a high torque motor would be a good thing plus there is no idling fuel wasted.

    As a ford tech, I'll tell you fords suck. But I'm probably biased as I only see the broken ones.

    Of those small vans, there are far more Fords than anything else. Prob sold more than other models but makes you wonder... this one is s 2012 CNG Transit Connect w 39k miles for under 10 grand...



    Thanks Don. Filling up on the road could potentially be an issue but I’m sure maps will tell me where to go with blind faith LOL

    You're probably fine. Like I said, I only see the shit shows of vehicles and have a biased opinion. And that sounds like a hell of a deal.
