Recently, in the Carnival of Wheels, somebody made a comment about the incredible number of Prius’ on the road. I replied that we don’t see them here in the Toronto area. While in Connecticut, I see what they were talking about. These things are everywhere. The funny thing is that while traveling at 80 mph, I was passed by at least 4 of them.
A hybrid at over 80 miles per hour! Why bother you MORONS!

They’re not driving a hybrid to save on gas, or to help save the world. They just want people to see them as environmentally conscious, and “hip”. Perception and reality are, of course, worlds apart.
Why Bother?
Because in my SUV at 80 mph, I only get 18 mpg, at 80 mph I get 45 mpg, you Moron!
It’s all about saving money, and not putting so much pollution in the air for all of us to breathe. One car purchase won’t save the world, but it did save my budget.
