[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 413815, member: 12508"] The hybrids are a perfect example of FedEx duplicity. They're a tiny part of the FedEx vehicle fleet, but you'd never know it from all the green hype. In my region, they shift them around from state to state so the public actually gets to see one in action every once in awhile. Meanwhile, they've got thousands of old gas 600's and 700's spewing crap into the air at about 8 mpg, and a large number of very inefficient(and noisy) 727's still flying. The only green that counts with FedEx is the kind you put into your wallet. Fred has already been quoted as saying that the hybrids are too expensive to be cost-effective, so you know that only a few stations in California and some of the more eco-sensitive states will ever see more than a handful. As usual, FedEx only complies when it finally has to, and then acts like it was the company that started the trend...kind of like Al Gore inventing the Internet. I know exactly what you mean with the lights. They burn them 24/7 around here too. [/QUOTE]
