Greetings.

Let me make a very brief plea for you to NOT sell your HCH II. Or at least, don't change to a big ole 4x4. The reasons for driving a hybrid are not just to save money on gas; it's also to be kinder to the environment, no matter who is paying for the gas or how short the commute. Sure, you're average MPG will drop (I'm averaging about 47 MPG in a HCH II with some highway miles but just a 1.5 mile commute), but it's still a better thing to do for you, for your country, and for the planet at large.

OK, I'll hop off my soapbox and end with, "Do what you want." Just recall that the bottom line is not necessarily the only factor to consider.

Thanx for listening, and best of luck to ya.

MJ
