No problem. I know we share the same goals and your Honda Civic hybrid is an excellent alternative.

If you are interested in learning about Prius technology, this is one of the better web sites:

One curious phenomia are the Honda drivers, hybrid and non-hybrid, who come to Prius forums to post. I'd first observed this in Ebay last September when I found a lot of "not a prius" postings. As long as they do no harm, I figure it is just "Prius envy." <grins>
