You actually cry at the gas station when you pull up needing to FILL a pickup truck

Geez, I did the calculations on the pickup I've been driving to work this week (because I needed to move a lot of stock) and I was burning 15l/100K!

322. You plan your A.M. route to have as many school zones as possible, so you can drive 20 MPH with battery only for a few extra miles.

323. You use your Hybrid for work, and actually make money off the per mile tax deduction.

324. You and your spouse joke about the car "stalling" at the stop light

325. You suprise people in a parking lot as you wait to take their spot because they didn't hear you coming

326. You obsessivly keep all gas reciepts in a little book and mark the weather conditions, as well as milage and mpg on each... with smily faces or frowns depending on the numbers

(I love 323-- so true!)

328) You put an aerodynamic bike helmet on your dog... the only way you'll let him stick his head out the window with the hybrid in motion!

You thank the Hybrid Gods when you get "stuck" behind a RV doing 5-10 mph under the speed limit.

-You go the the trouble of finding out who your state representative is so you can tell him to vote for a pending 2006 state hybrid tax break bill...and then actually write him a letter.
-You decide to drive that trip to Canada instead of flying
-You get sad when you see the price of gasoline dropping
-You shut off your engine at a stop light when the car is not warmed up yet (and do that in your nonhybrid too)
-You worry more about 40 mpg changing to 39 than 39 years old turning to 40
-You smile at hybrid car commercials during Super Bowl
