	NEWS FLASH: Hybrid gas/electric vehicles SAVE THE PLANET from utter destruction! In the latest promotional advertisement by automobile manufacturers, they can now promise you Utopia here on Earth IF you would only trash your current vehicle by dropping it off at your county landfill and immmediately call Toyota (1-800-BUY-HYPE) for a hybrid taxi to take you to the nearest Toyota dealership where you will be able to purchase your own Special Edition hybrid entitled: "Utopian Hybridization". One Toyota marketeer recently intimated a larger plan in which federal law would be make it illegal to drive the majority of existing vehicles currently in use today. His comment: "We do plan for this to be a federal law where we can imprison those who refuse to purchase a hybrid vehicle. I mean, like, you wanna save the whole world, right? Buy a hybrid! We have THE plan!". Guess we found the Messiah, eh? NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care!

	right, sponge - you just want to help bring about the destruction of the world. Have to get rid of ALL non-alternate fuel vehicles ASAP. Of course, you've been following the scientific evidence as well as the CA lawsuit. Or maybe you just don't care. I guess you just don't have kids, and figure the world ends when you die anyway.

	Folks, let's all agree not to debate this last statement by NoSUV. I mean, really, it's just not worth considering. This thread is [xx(]

	What facts? When we carpool we don't all win? Hmmmmm... You need to learn to live with other people! There is a place for everyone, and SOV commuters belong in the regular lanes. All those SOV hybrid drivers should pick up cheerful and appreciative slug riders! Here's a fact: if hybrid gets 50 MPG x 4 passengers = 200 passenger MPGs. Plus that one hybrid took 3 other cars off the road, and reduced vehicle emmissions by 75% (100% divided by 4 cars x 1 car). That's the way everyone wins with carpooling!

	I wasn't doing a comparison, NoSUV, I was just making a statement. When we carpool we all win!

	raymond - you still forgot to account for non-commuting miles in your vehicle.

	Penny, Its not a simple good vs. bad argument. And no one says that hybrid owners are bad, just SOV hybrid commuters in the HOV lanes. There is a place for everyone, and SOV commuters belong in the regular lanes. If you do the right thing, your motives are secondary. No one cares why you carpool, just that you do it! Believe me, I would love to see all those SOV hybrid drivers line up in the slug lines, picking up cheerful and appreciative slug riders! Ex. hybrid gets 50 MPG x 4 passengers = 200 passenger MPGs. Plus that one hybrid took 3 other cars off the road, and reduced vehicle emmissions by 75% (100% divided by 4 cars x 1 car). Now that's eco-smart!
