Le Mans 24 hour car race will have a hybrid Audi this year

Audi has 10 of the last 13 wins at Le Mans, this year they are putting in two models.  One is a diesel-electric hybrid R18 using regenerative power gathered from braking and coasting to boost power when accelerating.

Meanwhile in my red fortress state, our oil industry owners are suggesting a tax on hybrids, hi mileage vehicles and electric vehicles, this I guess is needed to punish those not buying enough gas from them.

    1. Jadedj,
      Most of Kansas legislature is bass ackwards. So far this proposal has not been put on paper, at least I think not, but they have been speaking of it, I think they are testing the idea amongst the various employees of oil in the statehouse. I imagine Kochs will get it done one of these days.
