Hi Ogakor:

___This is not really directed at you nor anyone in particular but it is directed at our Government using my tax dollars in an inappropriate manner.

___I am getting real tired of this tax deduction and especially if it is going to be given to over-priced Escape and Accord Hybrid purchases. This is my tax dollars at work to subsidize automobiles that will never reach what I achieve in the Ranger XLT, the Corolla, or anywhere near what I receive in the Insight. I don’t drive in an HOV lane state but if I did, I would have a conniption given these (2) hybrids in particular are receiving less FE then a std. Civic or Corolla even for the average purchaser. If they want to speak in terms of emissions, the Accord Hybrid doesn’t qualify and the Escape HEV is a PZEV just like the std. Accord, Camry, and any other number of PZEV’s available in the clean fuel states. This is beginning to make me sick in fact given the average income of a hybrid purchaser is supposedly ~ $100,000 K per annum. Hybrid’s are selling faster then the supply thus do not need any incentives and especially since these incentives are directly adding to our already bloated 7,300,000,000,000 US Government deficit

___Good Luck
