Default Electric Car? How about a Compressed Air Car?

On short trips (5 or 6 miles) it does very well


I have a Mercury Mariner hybrid which is based on Toyota hybrid drive
technology. Since I don't have an option of not running the engine, short
trips are where it does the worst for mileage, especially in the winter.

Not really.
Ford traded some patents with Toyota since each company got to the patent
office first with some technologies. Toyota then got to the press first
claiming that Ford was using the Toyota technology - they forgot to mention
the Ford technology that they needed....
