Sometimes you get a little recognition

Tom got a lot of feed back (not just me!) and that is a good thing. Whether it will do any good or not won't be known for another 23 months, when this Congress ends.

Readers have say on quietness of hybrid cars
. . .
"There is an old saying that to someone who only has a hammer, all problems are nails. That pretty well sums up how the National Federation of the Blind perceives all vehicles.
"Sad to say, they haven't looked at the noise levels from all vehicles.
"In Europe, they measure vehicle noise: www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/downloads/. It turns out the Prius is not the quietest but it is in the top 10 percent of all quiet vehicles.
"Currently, the NFB is trying to get HR 734 passed that would 'bell the hybrid' ... the problem is it will only make hybrids as deadly as today's vehicles. There is another side to the story." -- Bob Wilson
