Are Hybrid Vehicles fun to drive?
What makes the experience different than a regular powered vehicle?

I'm not referring to non-hybird system options specific like Blue Tooth or a nice radio, but rather the Hybrid experience...

One experience for me is:
As I'm tooling along in the Right lane with traffic and see my MPG results it can truly be thrilling. I look over in the Left lanes and see cars fighting, whizzing by going 85-90MPH and am satisfied with my fuel savings.
Sometimes I think "I could never drive like that again...don't they realize how much fuel they consume...I'll bet they're the first to complain at the pump! "
Ironically they are likely looking at the slower Righ lanes and wondering how people can drive the boring speed limit. I'm not one to divulge to them my secret. :ph34r:

.

Efficient drivers do it better.
1003 miles a tank personal record. 74MPG calculated. HCH1 CVT
