    Hi All,

    I found this Caltech article (also linked from Cleanmpg.com) fascinating. Check it out! Tony P, can you get permission from Cal Tech to put this in the archive you have the Chicago Tribune PNGV article ? They go together.

    Victor Wouk was brother of Herman Wouk - the famous author.

    In a perverse way, that Buick Skylark was a PHEV, because the battery technology was limited.

    Heard that Toyota gave Victor a Prius to acknowledging his trailblazing.
