Have you done these?

367: Having nightmares where the breaking handle comes off in your hand, worn out by being pushed about 1000 times a day.

366: Petty arguments rage silently over the heater and air fan. You would rather clear a small hole in the misted screen than turn either on.

365: Spending more time watching the screen than the road, you say 'Whoops' every time you cross the line.

368. You're so busy watching road conditions and your mpg indicators that you don't even NOTICE someone flipping you off.

369. Someone flips you off, and you just smile back, pissing them off even more.

370) skeptics are anxious to share mythical problems about your hybrid.

371) skeptics ask for mileage tricks while rejecting the answer, the hybrid you drive.

372) you toss your hybrid keys to the skeptic and say, "Your turn to drive us back."

373) when you get hybrid mileage without a hybrid =)

i got around 20 km a liter when i drove a civic 5 spd using advanced hypermiler techniques
and now I drive a salvage nwh20 prius that gets almost to 25 km/l with 195,000 km to date.

373) You know the difference between "hypermiler" and "real hybrid owner."

A "hypermiler" is somone who gets better than EPA mileage from their vehicle. For example, if someone had a manual transmission Honda Civic that got 30/40 MPG, they would have to get better than 35 MPG to be a 'hypermiler' assuming half city and half highway driving.

A "real hybrid owner" has a title to a hybrid-electric vehicle. A "real hybrid owner" may or may not be a "hypermiler" but they have property rights to a "hybrid electric" vehicle. They also know the difference between a "hypermiler" and a "real hybrid owner."

374.1) and you're _still_ not satisfied with the correction!

and for Bob -

375) You write a hybrid FAQ.

376) when after 6 hrs. of a 20 MPH, 45 (F) headwind on the Interstate, you look forward to that left turn and arriving in time for 'rush hour' at a large, sprawling city to rebuild your MPG.
