Okay, so I've had my HCH for 1.5 months now, getting approximately 45mpg in mostly city driving, and I love it.

But I'd like people to know that it's a hybrid. And not just so that big gas-guzzling SUVs drivers can sneer at me, like they seem to do at Prius owners (not that I'm jealous or anything...).

I have found that most people that I talk to are really interested in the car, and impressed with the mileage, and also with the fact that it is a 'normal' car. But they had no idea it is a hybrid. And since I'm not friends with everybody, most folks just think this is another Honda Civic.

So I find myself wishing that there was something distinguishable (other than the antenna, and subtle grill and spoiler, which are only noticeable to those of us 'in the know') that identifies this car as a hybrid.

Has anybody done anything in this regard?
