Finally, I'd love a hybrid powertrain. I think it could be fantastic off road (let the electric motor pull you at crawl speeds!) and it would help address city fuel economy. I'm getting just 11 mpg so far in hilly Seattle around-town driving; I knew the city fuel economy would be bad, but not this bad. (Highway trips are tolerable at 18-20 mpg.)
I drive mostly city on Seattle's Eastside with hills, and have also been getting 11 mpg in the city. Doesn't matter how much I baby it or trounce on the pedal, 11mpg is all that I'm getting. When I bought this truck, to be honest, I never took into consideration the mpg. Now that I've been getting 11mpg and have to fuel up weekly, I'm thinking of getting a hybrid as a commuter car.
I notice you have an Energi. Is that your daily driver?

The egg is my wife's daily, and I use it for around-town errands. Electric driving is great in the city.
I'm fortunate to live close enough to work that I commute by foot, bike, or short bus ride. If I had to commute, it sure wouldn't be with an LX! I bought the LX primarily for road trips, but try to drive it some distance weekly to keep it healthy.
