But apparently, at least in this case, the hybrid system is so tightly coupled that you can't limp along with only gasoline power--you can't even limp along.
That was educational.

We were thinking about driving it to Bloomington tomorrow for the game, but given the weather, maybe we will just stay home.

We love our new Lexus RX400h. We only have a little over 1100 miles on it and it seems like it gets better every day.
Go Bucks!
