Quincy contest/Tangerine Contest

[Terry Terrenoire]

They are getting in the 45 MPG range, but not available in the sizes we
need for transporting 2M planes, or towing 3 to 40000 # trailers.
Just read an article where some engineer out wast added some batteries to
his Prius and is getting 80 MPG, but now he has lost what little trunk
space there was. Great for commuting, but not yet practical for our
needs, at least that is how I see it.
