Doog Hardly, The PR is a little different ("most locations") so I assume they might expand or it's different on other sites. Or maybe a trial? Anyway, very cool news.

Thanks Lascelles -- that's great news.
Putting fleets of hybrids on the road should also increase the number of used hybrids for sale in the coming year.
