One of the mods here has the pic below in his sig, but here's what I was wondering....

Wouldn't it be smart to combine these 2 technologies into one vehicle to make for even greater efficiency? Hybrid technology just takes all of the wasted energy from deceleration, braking, coasting down hills, etc, and stores that energy in batteries to be later used on demand. Well why would you pi$s on that technology if you could use it to your advantage and make CNG go even further per mile? Isn't that one of the main reasons people consider switching to CNG? For increased efficiency? To reduce your monthly fuel costs? I don't know why Honda doesn't do this already in the Civic GX NGV? It seems like the next LOGICAL step. Not to pi$s on it. Honda already uses and sells both technologies. New NGVs should be able to be sold with Hybrid technology built-in. Then manufacturers will have an easier time meeting the minimum mileage requirements without having to pay the EPA the penalties. What would be wrong with that?
What are your thoughts on that?
