Nice, Glad to see this... I can't wait to pick up a hybrid.

Austin ordering 5 hybrid gas-electric SUVs
City looking to bolster its environmental image as well as save money, increase fuel efficiency of its fleet.
Austin already owns 28 Toyota Priuses, smaller hybrid sedans, and 277 cars that run on clean-burning propane. The cars make up 7 percent of the city's fleet and are scattered among city departments, from Austin Energy to the Austin Water Utility.
The hybrid Escapes run on gasoline and an electric motor. At 31 to 36 miles a gallon, they're more fuel-efficient than their gas-only counterparts, which get about 22 miles a gallon.

I suggest the City purchase yellow Ducati's. I'm averaging about 35-40 mph and it's alot more fun than a car.
