Default Congress approves carpool lane for Hybrids!! But not the HAH!!
So I assume everyone has heard, Congress has given the okay for hybrid use of the carpool lane. Here is an article from L.A. Times

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la...102,full.story

Unfortunately, the cars must get at least 45mpg, which rules out the HAH! I'm so disappinted, but not surprised since DMV never listed the HAH as a potential car that would be able to take advantage of this bill when passed.

Just doesn't seem fair. But I suppose I didn't buy my HAH just on the hopes that I would one day be able to ride the carpool lane by myself. I bought it for the comfort, roominess, luxury, amenities, power, fuel economy, beauty...I could go on and on. I don't even have a carpool lane available on my daily commute anyways, so I guess I'll be ok.

Just thought I'd put in my 2 cents.
