The other option is to tack on the CAFE penalty ($5.50/0.1 mpg below) to the consumers. Adding an extra $500 will pay for being about 9 mpg below the average. Thats not pocket change, but it is less than the cost of a hybrid system, and gives a bigger 'boost' to economy. I know some of you will hate that but if its the differance between having and not having a V8 as an option I will take it
