This was an interesting story about how some school districts in a few states (PA and VA are two of them but I don't FX County is buying them at this point) are buying a few hybrid school buses. They are 50% more efficient but the are also 70K more per bus. Some guy says that the break even point would be in 6 years (15 year expected bus life) if they were bought in batches of 1000 or more because of volume discounts (reduces to 40k more per bus.
