Plus, the fuel savings of even 10% can be immense when a whole fleet of vehicles are converted. FedEx obviously knows this too and has slowly been converting delivery trucks to diesel hybrids which have been known to improve fuel economy by 44% and decrease emissions by 96%.

Wahl Reboots Male Grooming with Li-Ion Trimmer
Posted on June 15, 2009 | No CommentsThe batteries in electric shavers suck. Charge-times are better measured as large fractions of days than as hours, you can’t use them while they are charging and, even when full, they don’t last long.
