New York is beginning to see that same phenomenon.
I know Used CHC I's, New CHC II's, New and Used Priuses (Priii?) and Used Insights '04 and earlier are flying off dealer lots here in New York for Long Island drivers for the LIE HOV privilege.
Further upstate New Yorkers who drive the New York State Thruway daily or regularly get severely discounted tolls with Green Pass. For those who aren't familiar with the NYS Thruway, it is the main NY artery that runs from Westchester in the south to Buffalo in the Northwest.
It's one of the few bills that Gov. Pataki and I ever agreed upon.
