Golly, sorry about that post. I didn't realize the pics didn't work! Can a HOST help me out and delete it for me?

You can use html-standard img src tags (as long as the pic will fit in the allotted space, or just link it.

Maybe, maybe not. Hybrid trucks/SUVs have not exactly flown off the lots.
 
With diesel I know I will pay 12%+/- or so more for fuel, but also will get 30-40% better mileage. GM's new light duty 4.5L diesel is supposed to be getting fairly close to 30mpg in a 4x2 regular cab config. Even if that is high, I bet a Ridgeline diesel could match that. Add in how tuneable diesels are (gain both power and mileage easily), good resale, and with arguably less complexity, and I know where I want to spend my dosh.
 
That said, in primarily city driving hybrids tend to fair better. But in any app that is truck-like or features highway miles, then diesel wins.

Recently I checked the gasoline mileage on my 2006 Honda Pilot and on a 100 mile trip (80/20 hwy/city) I averaged 31.5 mpg. The Pilot is 2wd with the variable cylinder management system. Why has Honda not used this system in the Ridgeline? It is supposed to yield a 15% increase in mpg. Just curious.

16 city 22 highway is the EPA MPG rating for 2006 Honda Pilot 2WD.
 
The mpg you posted of 31.5 mpg is 43% higher than EPA mpg.
 
Disbelief is my reaction to claims of 43% increases in mpg.

huff,
 
i would like to believe you got 31 mpg in your 2wd pilot, but if that's reality then those cars would be headline news - they'd be flying off the lots faster than a Prius.

31 mpg in a Pilot? I'm sorry, but I just don't believe it.
