Most people I have talked with about my hybrid say:

1. Well, just how much more did you spend to get better mileage and laugh.
Then I have to ask them how much did you spend extra to get that big old SUV when you could have bought a simple Kia for about $9,000 and it would have got you everywhere you wanted to go and saved $30,000.

2. Then they ask about power. Does it have any power?

3. They say they want a big car.

So, I say to each, his own and go about my business and dont worry about them. Dont think I would not want a display in my rear window if I were driving my HCH conservatively in front of them, slowing them down as is the case if you really go after high mileage!
