Why not add a compressed natural gas tank and a smallish genset, say the Honda EU2000, to continuously charge the hybrid batteries? Natural gas can compressed and pumped in at home and with no road taxes. |

I think your post should be posted in every Lexus dealership right under the we love our customers (money) mission statement. I also drive my 400h much the way you describe, and i enjoy your posts in our other forum. As i drive i try to maximize mpg and dont worry about the battery, I figure that will take care of itself. however it occurs to me as i read your post that you re saying a fuller battery will keep the ICE from running as much and increase mpg. I am able to get 26 to 28 in mixed driving with regular gas with my current driving style. (no AC, its seattle) Also i have been experimenting with using the heated seats on cooler mornings insted of cranking up the heat so the ICE doesnt run as much during warmup. |

"Our hybrid SUVs allow customers to have their SUVs and be responsible at the same time, and we've seen (demand) really accelerate since Katrina," Press, president of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., said, adding that the waiting list was growing for its hybrid SUVs. http://money.cnn.com/2005/09/23/Autos/bc.autos.summit.toyota.hybrids.reut/index.htm |

I am thinking about the lexus rx400h. I just drove one today, and really liked it. I was wondering if anyone has problems with the armrest connected to the driver's seat - i thought it was kind of narrow. Has anyone gotten an aftermarkedt armrest, or modified the current one in any way??? thanks, evan
