-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 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
