why are you anti-hybrid? regenerative braking is a good idea regardless of your political affiliation or even choice of fuel: if diesels clean up their emissions as with the urea-injection systems then diesel-electric hybrids would get even better mileage than the gas-electric ones currently out when comparing apples to apples (same body style, drivetrain layout, weight, Cd and frontal area, etc.)

and, from the article:

According to the study, BMW reduced the CO2 emissions of its car fleet by 12.3 percent from 1990 through 2005 (its closest competitor achieved a 3 percent reduction in CO2 emissions), while sales in the USA increased four-fold in the same period.
great. of all useless statistics this one trumps all as it only measures the reduction. what if BMW cars in 1990 were horribly inefficient? do they still deserve this "prize" for having the most to lose?
