Ah, but what about all of those non-commuting miles? How many of those fall into the category of environmental responsibility? NONE!!!

You're right again NoSUV...I should junk my car so it can go into some landfill somewhere and be more environmentally friendly. Then I should pay too much because I'm a lemming and buy whatever the marketing folks tell me I should buy.

Spout? Engaging with the politicos is nothing. Promoting REAL alternative fuels in reasonably priced vehicles is doing nothing. Telling the truth about the gullibility of those who would buy an overpriced technology for selfish reasons is spouting off. Think I'll do "nothing" as I've been doing. Then I too can appear selfish since being fiscally responsible is probably equated to selfishness by SOV hybrid drivers.

Sure, go ahead and support the oil/auto alliance by paying premium prices for a hybrid instead of being economically responsible and considering a true alternative fuel vehicle as a replacement when the time comes. Makes all the sense in the world....depends on what alternate reality your world exists in...

Some folks won't ever "get it". More people per car equals less cars on the roads. Less cars on the roads equals less congestion. SOVs reduce/remove the incentive to carpool thus result in more cars ergo more congestion.

Life is lived by the choices we make. Make a choice to do for others today instead of doing for yourself only (then watch what happens!).

NoSB: So, I gather that your choice is to DO NOTHING but spout off - good thing that others are DOING SOMETHING other than waiting. Buy a hybrid and use it, not just for the commute, but to/from commuter lots, running errands, and for all of those miles you drive in your non-environmentally friendly car. Quit waiting - DO!

Wouldn't it make more sense to BOTH buy a hybrid and pick up slugs? And don't slugs drive to/from commuter lots and perhaps (gasp!) at times other then when commuting?

Seems to me that the environment and world would be better if we rid ourselves of ALL non-hybrid vehicles. Are you doing your part, Beckie5?
