We urge automakers to go beyond popular hybrid vehicles and manufacture
flexible fuel plug-in hybrids that run on electric fuel as well as gasoline
or other fuels. Plug-in hybrids will provide the option of plugging vehicles
into an ordinary electrical outlet in order to recharge the battery, allowing
our staff to drive on "electric fuel" for significant periods
of time, thus reducing the need for gasoline and increasing our fuel efficiency
up to 100 mpg or more. Plug-in hybrids will also bring significant reductions
in greenhouse gases and other pollutants, and reduce dependence on imported
oil.
Because of these many benefits, we pledge to strongly consider purchasing
the following plug-in electric hybrid vehicles once auto manufacturers
make them available, even if it costs more than other vehicles.
Please note, this petition will be passed on to automakers who commit
to manufacture flexible fuel plug-in hybrid vehicles. E-mail addresses will remain confidential.
