nosuv,
I'd rather have the redneck with the pickemup truck and two riders driving next to me than three solo hybrid drivers in the way. Kind of like preferring one dogpecker gnat to three.

Constant Speed = NET Zero Acceleration. The car may have to accelerate to compensate for decelerating forces, such as friction or gravity (hills). Regardless, gas is still burned by both vehicles.

dark, now you need to address downhills and a pushing wind. Bottom line is that LESS gas is burned by the hybrid at constant speed on the average ALL the time.

What entitlement do you reference? I am given nothing other than a chance to help fellow motorists reach there destination in a timely manner. I do not drive at all. I am fortuante to have a convienant walk to/from the lot from my house. I can honestly say I am doing some good for the environment. Who are you helping NoSUV? No one other than yourself. You're selfish and only care about your own privacy. Saving the environment...please.

Virus - do you even have legal standing? After all, you don't provide for the roads in terms of paying tax on gas -- if you were in a formal carpool and shared expenses, then you could have a claim. As for now, you really don't have a leg (or belly) to stand on.

What would happen if you, God forbid, actually PAID for your ride? Would you still walk to/from the lot? Or would you whine even more?

NoSUV - Obviously you are getting desperate and have resorted to name calling and personal attacks. Very professional. I will not stoop to your level of sarcasm. In the past you have made some legitimate comments. But the time has come for all the free loading hybrid exemptions to end. I pay taxes just like everyone else. Share the ride.

no - you DON't! You don't pay for gas for your commute, so you don't pay the tax on that gas. That raises at least one question:
- Do you expect for others to pay for your share of the road maintenance costs? The answer appears to be yes - you expect your driver to foot that bill.

Not all road mainenance comes from the gas tax and not all gas tax money goes to the roads. You never know, maybe bnvus makes far more money than you and pays more income taxes, thus offsetting his lack of gas tax payments. Please think before you make accusations.

Still - bnvus expects for the driver to pay bnvus' share of gas tax.

Hey, if the driver doesn't like it, he could choose not to ride with him. Think about this though: by bnvus riding along, the driver will get substantially better gas mileage (as long as he's not a hybrid) on the HOV lanes. Better gas mileage means less gas which leads to less gas tax. It would seem by your logic that the driver here is no longer paying his fair share of gas tax either, as compared to the drivers on the main lanes.
