Presently here in Georgia hybrids are not allowed in the HOV lane.

I'm not sure if I'd use it if it were available given my driving style.

While I'm tooling along on a 5 lane freeway in the far right lane going ~56MPH in a 55 getting ~80MPG at the time, I notice bunched up tailgating cars in the HOV lane going about 75-80MPH.

If it were me in the HOV lane I'd lead a procession of angry drivers or lower my performance down to unacceptable levels.

I'm sure in very heavy traffic that lane would be attractive though.

Efficient drivers do it better.
