Ms. Post has an amusing page on her blog about hybrid cars and the Hollywood stars the rest of us should emulate.
They're up to 23.
A sample of the comments:
Nora Ephron:
We don't really need a car. But a few weeks ago, I spent a day being driven around in a hybrid. It was so quiet. And the computer on the dashboard said it got 30 miles to the gallon. It just seemed to be saying, buy me, I am virtuous, and you will be too if you own me. And, as I said, it's very quiet and rarely needs re-fueling, so in some way it's the opposite of me. And there was a tax rebate and you get to drive in the carpool lane even if there's only one person in the car. So we bought a hybrid.
or Bill Maher..
Driving a hybrid is about terrorism and the environment, our number one and two issues... This is about self-preservation.
My 1998 Chevy S-10 gets 24 MPG in city driving and about 27 highway.
Where's my tax rebate? |
